LSIN (C)Copyright 1987 By Brian Conrad
--------------------------------------
Usage: LSIN <music file>
Displays instruments and their origin in Deluxe Music files.
I made this utility after feeling frustrated every time
that I loaded in some Deluxe Music file and getting the "cannot
load all the instruments" message. Unfortunatley, DMCS doesn't
show you which instruments it couldn't load.
LSIN will list out the instruments in any DMCS file or most
SMUS files. It will display instruments in a SMUS file faster
than the DMCS, because SMUS file list their instruments in the
file header while DMCS files have the instruments at the
end and LSIN has to skip over lots of information to find them.
LSIN will also list the origin of each instrument. If the
instrument is on Deluxe Music it will list it as being so. If it
isn't it will compare it against the instruments listed for
Instant Music and It's Only Rock 'N' Roll also from Electronic
Arts. If the instrument is included on any of these disks it
will display three question marks. Note that it does its
comparison "case insensitive" (i.e. Lowstrings and LowStrings
will match).
I hope you find this utility useful and feel free to distribute
it to your friends as long as there is no charge or the distribution
fee for the disk it is included on is less than $10.
