You can open my scripts/audiopaths up in DMP.
The DLS files aren't accessible since I've implemented a file protection
scheme on them.
As far as the exe goes, that can't be decompiled. I generally (never so
far) don't give out the C++ source to DMDemo, but I do give advice from my
experiences in writing it.
For VBScript I download the help from MS:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp
Its under Web development/Windows Script/Windows Script 5.6 Documentation
The VBScript Fundamentals section in the Users Guide is the best stuff for
someone starting out, especially if its just for working with DMusic.
I once printed that entire section for a I gave a talk on scripting. Oh,
<heh>, it looks like they added some stuff in. Oh well, some of its useful,
some of its not.
