- Short: Simple module player with full E source

- PsiloPlayer is something I just whipped together once because of my
- chronically low memory and a desire to listen to modules without
- loading something immense like DeliTracker. It came to be rather
- compact, and surprisingly bug-free, in the end. It's by no means a
- serious project, so the only reason I'm bothering to distribute it at
- all is for educational purposes.
-
- If you are an Amiga-E programmer, you'll probably get something
- useful out of this, either in the way of making your E programs play
- music, or in using EasyGUI. What the heck, I'll just sum up what it
- can do, and you decide whether you'd like some example code (or
- ready-made code if you like) for that or not.
-
- * EasyGUI interface that supports hotkeys (through a plugin)
- * Implements an EasyGUI multiple-line two-column text plugin,
- though mind you it's a little inflexible for other purposes...
- * Plays MED/OctaMED 4/8-channel, ProTracker, PlaySID, and
- JamCracker modules
- * Is a commodity (wow... great...)
- * Examines the module files and outputs some info about them
- * Supports XPK compression and decompression (though compression
- is hardcoded to use 'SQSH.100' - no requesters...)
- * Well, it reads its own tooltypes and uses ASL requesters too...
-
- Well, I hope some of you can get something useful out of that. If
- nothing else, there's a JamCracker replayer module, and some code for
- making your own replayers for E. There are also modules for using the
- playsid.library, which I believe nobody else have ported yet? So they
- may be useful.
-
- If you're interested in playing MED modules from your own programs,
- you should also take a look at the port I made of the OctaMED 6
- replayer sources, which you ought to find on the AmiNet as
- dev/e/MEDModules.lha. Hopefully, they work. :-)

- Comments can (if they ever get around to setting up my inet account,
- which they haven't yet, so finger me first!) be mailed to
