 MuchFX2 Winamp Plug-in 1.0111.1
 Copyright (C) 1998-2002 by Marc S. Ressl
 ============================================================================

 Description
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 MuchFX2 is a DSP plug-in stacker for Winamp 2.x.

 It allows to:

	* Stack several DSP plugins.
	* Use Winamp 1.x DSP plugins in Winamp 2.x

 For example, you can stack an effect mixer (DiabloSampler), an
 audiocompressor, and ShoutCast to transmit a Winamp-radio program.


 Installation & Usage
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Copy the DSP_MFX2.DLL file to the Winamp PLUGINS directory. Run Winamp,
 go to the preferences/DSP dialog, and choose the plugin. Press OK.

 MuchFX2 behaves like Winamp's playlist editor or equalizer. Press F1 or
 ? for help while MuchFX2 is in focus.

 Important: To make Winamp 1.x plugins work, rename them DSP_*.DLL .

 Tip: You can press the key R to reload a plug-in.

 Tip: You can change MuchFX2's skin, by getting MuchFX2's source codes, and
  recompiling with a new bitmap.

 Note: This program creates a file named DSP_MFX2.PIC, which is a plug-in
  cache for MuchFX.

 Finally, please report incompatible plug-ins. Thanks!

 Releases Log
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1.0111.1     11/01/02	Wow! Finally a release after 3 years. It is amazing
			MuchFX2 is still so alive. Fixes: ShoutCast problems.
			Finally, I really don't have time to work on this
			project. MuchFX2 is GPL now, if anything is wrong
			fix it yourself, I most post it on the website.

 0.9901.1     20/01/99	Wow! Almost one year MuchFX! And still a new MuchFX
			release. New grapic interface, compatibility with
			Winamp 1.x and 2.x DSP plugins. Load/save settings,
			and a plugin cache!

			Just NO ONE sent me a postcard =(...

 0.983.4      20/03/98	This fixes the PLUGINS\ directory problem.

 0.983.3      03/03/98	This is a good release. The problem was not only
			the minimize button, but also the icons. Had to
			remove them. BTW: I apologize for releasing so many
			versions, won't happen anymore.

 0.983.2.1    02/03/98	This is just a temporary version. It doesn't
			brighten the minimize button when minimizing, since
			the problem is there, but the solution is far from
			there =(.

 0.983.2      02/03/98	Fixed a bug that screwed the Windows GUI.

 0.983.1      01/03/98	New release number! New UI, and new icons.

 0.982.6      23/02/98	Just an update. Fixed some internal stuff, and
			added the SaveMinimized mode.

 0.982.5      19/02/98	Keeps the best of release 4, and multiple-
			configurations is now default (Means you can open
			several configuration windows at the same time).
			Fixed a configuration window bug while closing
			MuchFX.

 0.982.4      17/02/98	Remembers window position now, added INS/DEL key
			support, and there are now two "hidden" modes:
			Multiple Configurations and Set to Foreground.
			(This version was so buggy, it had to be removed
			within the day)

 0.982.3      08/02/98	MuchFX is no longer beta! Fixed a hWindow bug in a
			special case, and added checkboxes to plug-ins.
			And the X close box is finally disabled!

 0.982.2beta  07/02/98	Fixed lots of bugs: MuchFX runs now as a thread.
			No more crash-while-playing, and multiple instances
			of a plug-in are no longer allowed. Main window
			system messages are now handled =), and so TAB and
			ENTER work now. Also sent MuchFX on diet, the .dll
			is now smaller, and fixed a visual bug when more
			than 4 plug-ins were loaded.

 0.982.1beta  02/02/98	Configuration is now saved in plugin.ini. Added a
			double-click shortcut for quick configuration.

 0.982beta    01/02/98	Scans now for the Winamp directory. Fixed some
			configuration stuff, dll-calls are now correctly
			done, fixed a memory leak too.

 0.981beta    30/01/98	First release! Some time travel with the version
			number, and this one "worked"! Plugin's had to be
			in a special directory though, and only half of
			the plugins worked.

 0.999beta    29/01/98	Not released... In fact, it didn't work =) And
			don't ask, .999 was before .981! Yeah, I know!
