+--------------------------------------+
* MOD2DESC is little utility I wrote in one evening because I was pissed
off because that stupid 4MODS version I had didn't know even S3M
files! So I deciced to stop complaining and wrote my own version. So,
here it is, with MOD, S3M & XM support. More formats will be supported
as soon as get some documentation about them (hint, hint:)
* This small program uses PMode/W 1.21 by Tran (yeah I know, but I only
have flat model libraries installed. After all, I usually code only
demo stuff) So it requires at least 386 with some 2 megs of RAM, I
think. And all you 286 dudes, stop whining and get to reality...
Pentiums are quite cheap now, and 486's... Oh well...
* Well, here comes some kind of history...
0.1 - First version. Destroyed all my S3M:s :) Somewhat buggy, eh..
0.2 - S3M:s finally work.
0.3 - MOD & XM support added.
0.4 - Some minor bugs corrected. First public release.
0.41 - Finally corrected that missing last char bug. Stupid me:)
0.42 - MTM support added. Maybe still be somewhat buggy, because I
have only one MTM to test:(
0.43 - DMF support added. No composer data is read though. Well, how
many DMFs there are out anyway?-) Seems to be working.
0.44 - ULT support added. This may be buggy, because I don't have
specs for ULT format. Currently only MOD, S3M & XM are
guaranteed to work.
0.45 - Some cosmetic fixes. Also S3M module name lenght corrected to
28 chars, not 26 as previously:)
* Current bugs (and other confusing things:) still left:
- No bugs found. Yet
- Well, this isn't really a bug, but this version needs 4DOS to be
loaded. (Maybe) I will add direct handling of DESCRIPT.ION files
(soon?). Though still wondering if it is really necessary...;)
- And that None! thing instead of OK! there means that there is no
song name in file. It is _NOT_ a bug or error. Program just doesn't
write blank description. Of course previous description is saved.
Exceptions are formats who use space-padded song names (i.e. XM),
they report just OK! as usual. It's not my fault that author of
tracker doesn't use null-padded strings:)
- If this program feels slow, please use SmartDrive's write-behind
cache. It will boost speed of this program significantly.
* Well, have fun with this. Send bug reports and flames to
