Version Date Does?
V0.00 Dawn of time. Does nothing
V0.10 Appx. 25/05/93 Desktop Version. Loads STracker.
V0.15 Sometime later. Prints out most information.
V0.16 Later still. Loads a bit of Tracker.
V0.16 Appx. 15/07/93 '!RunImage' corrupted. (No Backup... silly me) 90%
recovered. WIMPFN. lost. Give up.
V0.30 28/07/93 Program converted to non-desktop. Displays all
immediate information. Load menu works. (Save
would too but no save PROCs.)
Keep 4 backup copies.
V0.31 29/07/93 Saves+Loads own format (MultiFile). (very large
due to 65k block reserved for patterns)
V0.32 29/07/93 Prints Samples, Sequence, patterns + General
(+all). Properly converts STracker patterns.
V0.35 30/07/93 Saves STracker files.
V0.40 30/07/93 Loads Coconizer files (not samples).
V0.41 31/07/93 Loads Coconizer files from 'Samples' directory.

V0.50 02/08/93 Saves Coconizer.
V0.55 03/08/93 Block reserved for patterns adjusted to minimul
size. (MultiFile's are more economimic too.)

added if pattern length less than 64. Also tracks
taken away/added to fit right no. of tracks in
file.
V0.65 04/08/93 Print menu changed so 'To Scrn'/'To Pntr' shows.
Before used select or adjust to print to screen or
printer. Also keyboard and mouse buffers emptied
after each command.
V0.70 05/08/93 Almost saves Tracker. (But not quite). Some files
save, others don't. Can't figure it out. Feel
depressed. Want to give up.

05/07/94 Groooaaaan... Accidental (you better believe it)
deletion of only (yes ONLY!!) copy of source code
for TrackConv M/C routines. I am VERY depressed!
Also, my computer now resembles a rather exotic
sculpture.
06/07/94 It is 3:07am on Wednesday morning and I have now
managed to recover the source code so it looks
pretty much like the original and produces exactly
the same result as the original. I am now feeling
much better but pretty tired and still pretty F'd
off really. Oh well...I've learnt my lesson this
time!

V3.06 05/08/94 Saves packed Symphonies!..but very slowly :(.
Also, compression alg. isn't 100% right as it
mucks up if data is too long.
V3.07 10/08/94 Fixed bug in OctaMED tempo conversion. Tempo
value can be greater than &FFF (max for

8 channels (they were supposed to before but you
know how it is with untested software!).

meant to be the length as part of the pattern).
V3.15 04/09/94 Loads packed Symphonies!! Also correctly saves

loads and saves packed PPP tracks.
