Title:  OEB API Extensions

Here's a brief overview of some of the Base functions that can be
used from the OEB (Overloader Extended Buzz) dll. don't forget
to have this at the beginning of your buzz machine's cpp file:

#include "../oeb150base.h"

assuming that oeb150base.h is in the same location as your machineinterface.h


_______________________________________________________

void LoadGeneralOEB(int machine_type, HINSTANCE dllInst)
_______________________________________________________

This function has to be called before any of the other
functions are called. Its normally called during DllMain
of a Buzz Machine, like this:


BOOL WINAPI DllMain ( HANDLE hModule, DWORD fwdreason, LPVOID lpReserved ) {
	switch (fwdreason) {
	case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH: {
		dllInstance = (HINSTANCE) hModule;
		LoadGeneralOEB(OEB_ISGENERATOR, dllInstance);
		break;
	}
	case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH: break;
	case DLL_THREAD_DETACH: break;
	case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH: break;
	}
	return TRUE;
}

If your buzz machine is a effect and not a generator,
then use the OEB_ISEFFECT constant instead. If you
don't specify the correct type of machine the OEB library
might not get loaded for your machine. Valid constants
include:

OEB_ISGENERATOR
This means your machine is in Gear\Generator 

OEB_ISEFFECT
This means your machine is in Gear\Effect 

OEB_ISGEAR
This means your machine is in the root Gear directory

OEB_ISRECORDER
This means your machine is in Gear\Recorders 

OEB_ISWAVEOUT
This means your waveout driver is in WaveOutput

OEB_ISMAINBUZZ
This means your dll is in the main buzz dir
