it's been my main project on and off for about three years now,
it's a dos based 32-bit (Go32V2) console app,
supporting up to four universes of different hardware types.

Requires FreeDos, MS-DOS, MS-Win95, MS-Win98.. everything else i have not tested.
(might work under linux with dosemu, im not shure)

	Use up to 4 devices! Multiple Universes of different hardware types (4 at the moment)
	Supports Kristof Nys64, Manolator256 and LPR2DMX-512ch hardware devices

)	Sequences with tap-tempo (aka chasers) (64 in ram, 10000+ on disk)
)	Submasters (24 * 64 pages) (extendable)
)	FX script based sequences :)
)	Edit and save channel patches (including colour and channel type information, channel names)
)	Command control using numeric pad (like DIM 12 @ 100, FADE 15-30 @ 50)
)	Fixture Support for faster programming using presets from text file fixture definitions
)	External Triggers eg.. make a foot switch for the tap tempo, a remote scene trigger.. etc

Check it out, let me know what you think.. there's no real documentation at this point.. i suggest reading the hipkey.pas file if you want to know what keys do what, i will slowly work on it for the rest of my life. if you want to help out, or if you see a bug, or whatever please let me know..
