I'll try this out.. pnpdump only shows (IO 0 (BASE 0x0620)), and not the
other two.. Perhaps a misreport?
Anyways, the awe_wave.o keeps on saying I have no AWE32, so it may be the
problem... Thanks. :)

Great! This will make life easier! I'll implement that also.. Again,
thanks. ;)
If I run accross any more problems, I'll surly post it.. This list is
extreamly helpfull.. ;)
BTW: It's neet how Eudora Pro 3.03 works under WINE.. ;)
Anyways, I'm off to try the suggestions!
