To get the newest version of buzz you need to download 3 files. The
first is buzz 1.04, the second one is the buzz 1.1 update and the third
is the buzz 1.2 rc1 update. This could seem confusing to people not
used to downloading and installing programs and updates, don't worry
though, we'll do this step by step.
Note : Buzz is a win 95/98 program, but it will however run just fine
under win nt

Buzz 1.2
BETA - update
Buzz BETA is now out but this is only an exe you place in your buzz
directory to replace your old buzz.exe file. New in the version is themes,
templates and skin support among many bug fixes. This link leads to
the main buzz page and I've decided not to copy it to my server since
new updates arrive almost each day. The BETA updates are named after
the date and time they were released, always check #buzz on efnet for
information on the newest release.
| -Installing
them on your computer |
Now when you have downloaded all three files
start by doubleclicking on the buzz 1.0 installer, follow the instructions
and make sure you remember the location of the program on the harddrive.
Now click the 1.04 and 1.2 updates and do as instructed, when asked
for the location of the buzz exe just click your way through the harddrive
to the directory you choose during the install.
First
of all startup buzz by scrolling your way through the startmenu, a splash
screen should be shown and a text that says - ...initializing - ...loading
machines and so on. You will end up with a white screen, a marker and
some menus above it. Click the view dropdown menu, choose [preferences...]
- change the waveoutput driver from silent to directx if possible, otherwise
use the waveform audio drivers. Note though that directx will always
be the fastest driver while using buzz. Now you can also setup midi
in/out if you know you are going to use them, there is also an option
called wavetable, leave that alone for now though.
There
still are buzz 1.2 beta 1-8 and such updates
floating around on the net, skip them. All you need are the three above,
they are the easiest way to install buzz. Also note that Oskari will
make a 1.2 full installer any day letting you install 1.2 with just
one file, always keep an eye on the official buzz homepage - http://www.buzz2.com
All
files above have been checked for viruses with a new version of avp
toolkit pro, but none have been found, new viruses are always invented
and spread, always check your downloads, i take no resposibility if
the files are contaminated - http://www.avp.com
