- Oke, here's a quick dox for PAT2RAW.EXE:
-
- This program will convert GUS Patches(with the extension .PAT) to one or more
- raw sample files(raw means with no header, just pure sample data), that can
- be used in, for example, MOD-Players. If the patch contains 16-bit sample
- data, the program is also able to convert the sample to 8-bit data.
-
- The usage of the program is very simple: just type PAT2RAW and then the patch
- you want to convert. For example, if you want to convert TROMBONE.PAT you
- just type PAT2RAW TROMBONE. The program will first create a file named
- TROMBONE.0 with the sampledata of the first sample that was found in the
- patch. If the patch contains more samples, they will be named TROMBONE.1,
- TROMBONE.2 etc (So patches with more than 999 samples are not allowed (-; ).
-
- There are two command-line switches:
-
- -8 : This commandline switch causes the program to convert all 16-bit
- sample data into 8-bit sample data.
-
- -I : When you use this switch, the program will create a info-file
- (for example TROMBONE.INF). In this file, some information about
- the patch and the samples the patch contains, will be given.
-
- I first created this tiny program just for my own use, but then I thought that
- it could also be useful to other people, so I decided to donate it to the
- public. I wouldn't mind releasing the source code too, if it weren't such a
- mess. Oh yes, one more thing: since this program was created for personal use,
- the program doesn't check too often for errors, but it just throws you into
- DOS with a runtime error (Sorry(-:).
-
- This is only the BETA version of the program, so it could be full of bugs
- (although I don't think it is). If you find an error, please report it to me,
- so I can change it,
-
-
- For questions, flames, chatting or the source code of this program, you can
- catch me on my Email address(i.e. J.vHengstum@kub.nl)
-
- So far, HAPPY GUSSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- And if you don't own a GUS, GET ONE NOW, LAMER (-8
