The first version of the .MOD format on Amiga was only 15 instruments.
1531 converts old 4ch 15instr modules into 4ch 31instr.
3115 converts 4ch 31instr modules into old 15instr module format.
Syntax: 1531 <filename.mod>
3115 <filename.mod>
The output (converted) file has the same name than the source, except the
first character is replaced by "_". Example: if you type '1531 nolimit.mod',
the file '_olimit.mod' will be created. These programs don't want to convert
a module if its filename already begins by "_": that's a security against
overwriting.
I coded these softs in 1 hour. So there isn't any file format test: you could
convert a 15instr into 15instr AGAIN, a 8 channels MOD into 15instr. 8ch. (that
doesn't exist!), or even a text file or your autoexec.bat ! Sorry but I was to
lazy to detect flags. So always listen to the converted file before deleting
the source.
I advise you against using them on diskettes, because they don't test if there
is enough place left on disk before writing on it (I coded that but it didn't
want to work immediately so I got angry and I crashed the function). Actually,
I really don't know what happens when you want them to output a file on a full
disk !
Moreover: if you convert a 31 samples into a 15 samples modules, excessive
samples are keeped (only the path is deleted), so your module will waste disk
space. Anyway, you would be quite stupid to convert a file into the 15 sam-
ples format, if it contains more than 15 samples.
Enjoy these converters, almost 3115.exe, the most unuseful soft on earth !
