- ■ WHAT?
-
- RENMOD is a simple protracker module renamer. It's handy if you are often
- dnloading modules from Aminet (or geting them from your Amiga-amigos :). Amiga
- style naming convention for modules is based on adding prefix "mod." to the
- filename. Because MS-DOS supports only 8.3 filenames, mod filenames are
- truncated to the "mod.foo" form when obtained from Amiga oriented systems.
- Biggest disadventage of this situation is that the most of pc modplayers uses
- filename extension to recognize module type (especialy players with bilt-in
- fileselectors) and you can't load modules with other extension that MOD (or S3M
- or XM or MTM or... :). Another drawback is that you can recognize module by
- only three letters from its name. In short - it sucks!. You can ofcourse rename
- module by hand, but try to do this with 356 tunes :(
-
-
- ■ HOW?
-
- Just feed him with mod filename and listen the results with a good modplayer
- (CubicPlayer or Mod4Win :). RENMOD allows 101 modules which names are starting
- with 8 identical letters e.g. congobongo_boo.mod, congobongo_yo.mod, congob...
- Two letter number will be added to the basename.
- Warning: RENMOD doesn't perform filetype checking so if you feed him with the
- file that isn't module, strange things may happen.
