I have contacted the author of provox, and he has given his permission to include provox in freedos. I've also run it under freedos, and it works perfectly. It's likely the code could use some tweaking to make it work better, but it does ork as is. Currently, folks will need an external synthesizer (well, some internal ones work too) because soundblaster-type cards aren't supported directly. Whether this is something that can be corrected or not I suppose is a matter of time/research/programming. As distributed, provox7.zip contains a copy of the a86 assembler, likely this will need to be removed for the fd distribution, since a86 is shareware, and not gpl. I'll fill out the required forms, produce a compatible zip file, and send wher ever it needs to go to be included on the main site. It's already under the gpl so no trouble there. Thanks for your reply.
