Version 1.5 - released 01-01-1994
---------------------------------
- now you have 8 octaves (added 5, 6 and 7). You should use the higher ones
  (esp. 6 and 7) only on samples, with a high sampling rate. Low rate
  samples may sound wrong or "different".
- you can now load 4/6/8/16 track .mod, .669, .far, .mtm and .ult !
- you can use up to 10 file masks for songs and up to 10 for samples !
- increased the speed of the playback-routine (about 30 times faster ;-) )
- many small changes are made eg: You can click around in the edit field,
  speeds are displayed, use right mouse-button for fast clicks and many other
  things are done, but I can't remember them all right now :-))
- fixed some small bugs (like everytime...)
- fixed "exit ultra wave bug"; on some vga-boards the screen reset didn't 
  work propably
- added pan-position table (changes in ult-format !)
- added stereo-vumeter
- new funktions: PAN POSITION and CHANGE SIGN (changes signed/unsigned sample
  data, after sample is loaded)
- new effects: 0 and 5-C
- added distribution list (if you want to become a dist site, read 
  support.ut !!)
- added this info file, for the non-german speaking people (hope you can 
  understand my "great" english) ;-)
- ! HEY: everybody who wants to register in the future, will receive a 
  !      KEY-FILE. With this file, you can use coming shareware versions 
  !      of UT without any shareware delays (means no more updating is 
  !      needed !!!) !
  !      If you are already registered, send me your disk and about 3$US 
  !      (for charge) and you'll receive the latest version and the key !!

- - -

- ATT: Please don't use the following effect(combination)s, until they are 
       supported ! You may get in trouble, if you use a future version of UT
       in which the effect(combination) has a function:
       They are: 6, 8, 11, 22, 33, 44, 66, 77, 88, AA, BB, CC, DD !  
       
       Hope you understand. Eg: combining AA has no effect on the song, 
       because you can't slide down and up, the same time. But in future 
       versions of UT this effect (AA) my get an function and if your song
       is full of AA, it may sound wrong !
