But:

That's not all.

links to FREEBSD ports are 404
First:

Transporting you HERE: http://www.pagesz.net/~aa8vb/awedrv. If your
browser doesn't transition for you, click on the link above.
That one doesn't exist either.
In attempts to compile some of the sources which are available
for LINUX I have not been sucessful.
Some executables which I have found around the web are
either for M$ machines or ELF files or Linux or ???
Anybody get something that works, yet?
I'd hate to go back to W95 to do the sound file work I've
been doing. (The Creative software on W95 won't work with
the E: drive anyway.)
I'd appreciate any help.
Thank You.
James
