IMPORTANT!!!!!  READ BEFORE PROCEDING!!!!

BETA 2 - Jan 10, 1997

This package contains the latest drivers and applications for the 
AWE32, SB32 and SB16 sound cards from Creative Labs.  It will install 
the drivers and files without causing versioning problems with the
.dll files and will allow Warp v4 users to install the AWE32/SB32
Control Panel, otherwise only available with Creative's driver 
package.  It will also assist OS/2 users in installing WinOS2 drivers 
by setting up IBM's winstall.cmd and the appropriate .ctl file.

I.  Important Notes - Everyone should read these.
II.  Installing WinOS2 support.
III. FAQ

I.	IMPORTANT NOTES:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The installation program assumes that the \mmos2 and the \os2 
directories are on the same drive.  If they are not, install to the 
default directory and copy the files from the \os2 directory created 
by the install program to the matching locations in the real \os2 
directory.  DO NOT change the default directory if you are installing 
drivers.

2. The installation program will install the Creative Labs programs
into the \mmos2\blaster directory.  You can of course move this
\blaster directory elsewhere after the install.

3. The Creative Mixer doesn't work with any drivers written since 
December of 1995.

4.  OS/2 Warp v4 users shouldn't need to install the SB16 or AWE32 
drivers.  The drivers shouldn't hurt anything, but are the same 
version as the ones included with Warp v4.

5. This was done without the assistance or permission of Creative 
Labs or IBM. If either party has a real problem with my doing this, 
well, I can be contacted by email: colin@ionet.net and I will remove 
this file from my web page.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
II.	Installing WinOS2 Support
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This program copies the latest WinOS2 drivers into your \os2\drivers 
directory, IBM's winstall.cmd WinOS2 driver installation program from 
wininst.zip, and a script file for your card.  After installing the 
drivers themselves, you should go to a command prompt and execute the 
winstall.cmd script.

III.	FAQ:
