- 3 - Introduction
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ModInfo is a program to count all effects in a soundtracker, noisetracker
- or protracker module. The module maybe in old format ( 15 samples ) or in
- the newer format ( 31 samples ). Modules with only 15 samples may not
- always recognized correctly but this shouldn't cause any problems.
- ModInfo can be used from cli or from the workbench. The program is able to
- handle powerpacked modules so it is not necessary to decrunch before.
- ModInfo is a pure program meaning you can made it resident. I wrote this
- program to select modules to test a rewritten protracker replayer.
- The program requires at least Kick 1.2 ( yes i am still using a A500 with
- kick 1.2, but i will update soon to a newer machine ! ).
- Should work on all other systems too ( only tested on my machine, sorry ).
-
- Note: ModInfo requires the req.library by Fox/Dawson for a filerequester.

- 4 - Command line syntax
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If started from CLI the command line syntax is as follows:
-
- ModInfo [ File File ... ]
- or
- ModInfo [ -d Directory ]
-
- You can specify upto 10 files on the command line to be examined or you
- can use the '-d' switch to specify a default directory to be shown if the
- filerequester opens. When the program is started without any argument or
- from the workbench then a filerequester will open. You can choose max. 10
- files as with the command line. To enable this feature you will need the
- 'req.library' available either in libs: or in ram via 'loadlib'. You can
- get a usage message if you run the program with '?' as the first argument.
