■ WHAT?
RENMOD is a simple protracker module renamer. It's handy if you are often
dnloading modules from Aminet (or geting them from your Amiga-amigos :). Amiga
style naming convention for modules is based on adding prefix "mod." to the
filename. Because MS-DOS supports only 8.3 filenames, mod filenames are
truncated to the "mod.foo" form when obtained from Amiga oriented systems.
Biggest disadventage of this situation is that the most of pc modplayers uses
filename extension to recognize module type (especialy players with bilt-in
fileselectors) and you can't load modules with other extension that MOD (or S3M
or XM or MTM or... :). Another drawback is that you can recognize module by
only three letters from its name. In short - it sucks!. You can ofcourse rename
module by hand, but try to do this with 356 tunes :(
■ HOW?
Just feed him with mod filename and listen the results with a good modplayer
(CubicPlayer or Mod4Win :). RENMOD allows 101 modules which names are starting
with 8 identical letters e.g. congobongo_boo.mod, congobongo_yo.mod, congob...
Two letter number will be added to the basename.
Warning: RENMOD doesn't perform filetype checking so if you feed him with the
file that isn't module, strange things may happen.

1) 'Coz I'm seek'n'tired of renaming those 'mod.foo' modules by hand :(
2) I _HAD_ to make a few minutes break in preparing for the exams!
