Re: sfront 0.56 update ...

I am now a little puzzled, as I have had one problem, but not this one!
I have built sfront56 (release) from the winlite sources, and (a) it
builds, and (b) it compiles 'beat' into sa.c which compiles and runs,
and generates a nice soundfile. I am using VC++ v5.0 with Service Pack 3
(without which all hell breaks loose...).

The problem I ~have~ had is that the new version reports a parse error
in the mp4 file I have (though it creates a saol output file correct to
my sdif.saol source), created by sdif2mp4, but then saolc complains too,
and I am going round in ever-decreasing circles (bah humbug), so I don't
think it counts as a problem at all!

However, for ordinary saol/sasl compilation, I haven't hit any problems
yet with sfront56.
