Abbotsbury Software in conjunction with Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc
has released version 1.42A of the WinCast TV driver set. The package
is available from:

  http://www.os2tv.com/downloads.phtml 

Download "wcast.zip". Use minstall to do a full install.

This version of the driver should solve problems associated with
mapping audio inputs to proper video inputs. In addition, a new test
application called DiveTV is included. 

The DiveTV application uses hardware rather than software (DIVE)
image scaling up to approximately 640 X 480. Once the hardware limit
is reached, DIVE takes over. Image quality is much better. Note that
you must use DiveTV to see the improvement. As of this moment third
party applications will show no improvement, but we hope that will
change in the near future.

Known issues:

Several users have reported extra "junk" characters placed in the
device = wcast.sys line in the Config.sys file. We have not yet been
able to reproduce this. If you are reinstalling, back up your current
config.sys file to uses as a reference if you experience this
problem. A typical config.sys entry might look like this:

DEVICE=C:\MMOS2\WCAST.SYS /T=WCAST   /F='C:\MMOS2\WCAST 
1.INI' /N=1  

We have also noticed that on some systems, video windows greater than
300 pixels high experience a frame rate drop (DIVE only). We are
looking into this.

Please download and use this driver set. As always your feedback is
appreciated.
