Hey, Steve.<BR>
<BR>
The version of SDL_sound I grabbed from cvs didn't work so hot with msvc++ 2003, at least not right away.<BR>
<BR>
It took me a little while to find all its dependencies, and compile them, but I do have a version of SDL_sound that compiles under msvc++ that I'd be happy to upload to an ftp site of yours, complete with all the dependencies.<BR>
<BR>
If anyone thinks this might be a good addition to cvs, or the SDL_sound website, let me know, and I'll send it your way.<BR>
<BR>

<FONT COLOR="#1a1573" SIZE="2">For SDL installation it was straight forward, as I put the SDL.lib, and SDLmain.lib in the library folder, and then added all the header files for sdl, in a sdl folder in the include folder to do call such as #include <SDL/SDL.h>.</FONT><BR>

<FONT COLOR="#1a1573" SIZE="2">The files in the include are all the headers such as SDL.h, SDL_audio.h, SDL_endian.h, SDL_events.h ..... And so forth.</FONT><BR>
