 The project is in the early development stage, and many loose ends

-* The module/scrambler17.c is broken.  I have a perl-script that will
-  easily generate the correct tables when this is needed. -Morten

+* Please use the ifax_malloc(size_t size, char *description) when
+  (m)allocating memory.  It will get initialized for the benefit
+  of mlock'ing later on. -Morten
 
 * Decide on how to handle types correctly for the more low-level DSP
   code, so that we don't run into trouble on 64-bit systems etc., and
   modify the code accordingly.
 
-* The module/modulator-V29.c is (hopefully) logically correct,
-  but produces badly shaped signals that can't be used.
+  UPDATE: Use the following setup when relying on the bit-sizes
+  of variables:
 
+       #include <ifax/types.h>
+
+       ifax_sint16             signed 16-bit integer
+       ifax_uint8              unsigned 8-bit integer
+       ifax_sint32             signed 32-bit integer
+       etc...
