Recently I lost my HD (but that's another story) anyway, that gave me 
the impetus to upgrade to v2, unfortunately I've had some troubles. 

 First - where the hell did go32 go? I didn't find it in any of the 
distribution files. Okay, so maybe things are auto-stubbed now - great. 
BUT - I tried running gcc and I kept getting a co-pro error (I tried all 
combinations of setting the go32=emu blah-blah w/ both forward & back 
slashes also both emu387. & emu387.dxe (what is this?)). What is strange 
is that when I tried hand compiling (ie. cpp -> cc1 -> as -> ld) it 
works. 

 Second - SB_LIB v3 doesn't work. When I run the demo program, straight 
after converting the samples it starts playing a low-frequency tone 
until I quit. I saw this reported by someone else in this newsgroup but 
didn't see a followup. (I have a SB 2.0 @IRQ 7, port 220, DMA 1). The 
tone's frequency is proportional to the frequency I enter for the 
conversion of the samples.

 Third - X-LIB (I can't remember what version, the one with the spacies 
game) has keyboard troubles on my machine. All the demo programs work 
but after about 30 second the keyboard disappears. 

 (my machine's a 486-sx with 1 meg extra mem (don't laugh). Using ms-dos 
6.0, cwsdpmi).

Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I couldn't find an updated v2 
FAQ.
