<b>V18 - 5/6/02</b></h2>
<blockquote>Ran most of the code through <a href="http://astyle.sourceforge.net/">AStyle</a>
<blockquote>All source code and documentation now under <a href="http://www.portaudio.com/usingcvs.html">CVS</a>.
<p>Ran most of the code through <a href="http://astyle.sourceforge.net/">AStyle</a>
to cleanup ragged indentation caused by using different editors. Used this
command:
<br><tt>astyle --style=ansi -c -o --convert-tabs --indent-preprocessor
<br><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp; astyle --style=ansi -c -o --convert-tabs --indent-preprocessor
*.c</tt></blockquote>
<blockquote><b>WMME</b>
<blockquote>Added "pa_common/pa_convert.c" for Mac OS X. Start of new conversion
utilities.
<p><b>ASIO</b>
<ul>
<li>
New Pa_ASIO_Adaptor_Init function to init Callback adpatation variables,</li>
<li>
Cleanup of Pa_ASIO_Callback_Input</li>
<li>
Break apart device loading to debug random failure in Pa_ASIO_QueryDeviceInfo</li>
<li>
Deallocate all resources in PaHost_Term for cases where Pa_CloseStream
is not called properly</li>

<b>Mac OS X</b>
<ul>
<li>
Major cleanup and improvements.</li>
<li>
Fixed device queries for numChannels and sampleRates,</li>
<li>
Audio input works if using same CoreAudio device (some HW devices make
separate CoreAudio devices).</li>
<li>
Added paInt16, paInt8, format using new "pa_common/pa_convert.c" file.</li>
<li>
Return error if opened in mono mode cuz not supported.</li>
<li>
