- Small doc file for AnalyzeMOD :
-
- This small tool was made during the developing of the musicdisk
- 'Sound' by my group Spoon, since I needed a tool to tell me
- which FX commands a particular module used...
-
- At the moment the only thing this tool tells you, is :
- SongLength, Highest Pattern, and then it scans the patterns, summing
- up the use of FX commands...
- If the tool can't load a pattern it will tell you so, indicating a
- corrupt file...
-
- Usage : AnalyzeMOD <FileName>
-
- The tool pritns its output to STDOUT, so if you need to read it you
- can pause it by pressing space, or simply redirect it
-
- eg . AnalyzeMOD "mod.Ultimate Seduction3" >OUTPUTFILE
-
- At the moment NO packers are supported !!!
- If your module is packed, then go via XFH or unpack it first !!
-
-
- As usual this tool is Copyrighted FreeWare !!
- Use it, but don't abuse it...
-
- Developed on :
-
- Amiga 1200, 2Mb chip, 4Mb Fast, 14MHz 68881 (not used for this ;)
- Quantum 120Mb HD
- SAS/C 6.55
- CED 3.5
- DOpus 4.12 (5.x SUXX in a MAJOR way...)

- I am currently working on a new mod format, allowing for both
- more samples, effects, channels and patterns...
- This will be a totally new format, allowing for many of the
- features invented on the PeeCee's ;
- PatternPacking etc...
- And will be accompanied with tools for converting PTMods to and
- from this new format, and ofcourse a replayer for it..
- If you have any comments and/or suggestions the please contact me
- as fast as possible..
- NOTE : I am NOT working on a tracker.. This is simply a much improved
- format, which will then be proposed to the authors of trackers...
- It is possible that this can be used for a multiplatform MOD format,
- since there is nothing hardware dependant in the format, and there
- will be mucho info on what goes where in the format, allowing the
- user to only load the needed/supported data..
- this will probably be in the format of a load/save engine written in
- ansii C, allowing for porting to any machine supporting ansii C ..
- The fileformat will maybe/probably be based on the IFF fileformat, since
- this is a both easy and widespread format...
