-
- The ProTracker support achive is an archive stuffed with extras for
- ProTracker, the most popular music program ever on the Amiga. I've put it
- together because there haven't been released any versions of ProTracker for
- a while and I think the Amiga community deserves better support for PT.
-
- The disclaimer in the AmigaGuide documentation still yields. =)
-
- Please spread this archive to all of your friends and enemies. The scene
- really deserves this stuff.
-
- If you want to contact me for anything, please do. My address is found in
- the AmigaGuide documentation.
-
- This archive contains:
-
- * Complete AmigaGuide documentation for ProTracker. The documentation has
- been cleaned up since the previous release and contains all stuff
- present in earlier helpfiles, as well as:
