3 - Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ModInfo is a program to count all effects in a soundtracker, noisetracker
or protracker module. The module maybe in old format ( 15 samples ) or in
the newer format ( 31 samples ). Modules with only 15 samples may not
always recognized correctly but this shouldn't cause any problems.
ModInfo can be used from cli or from the workbench. The program is able to
handle powerpacked modules so it is not necessary to decrunch before.
ModInfo is a pure program meaning you can made it resident. I wrote this
program to select modules to test a rewritten protracker replayer.
The program requires at least Kick 1.2 ( yes i am still using a A500 with
kick 1.2, but i will update soon to a newer machine ! ).
Should work on all other systems too ( only tested on my machine, sorry ).
Note: ModInfo requires the req.library by Fox/Dawson for a filerequester.

4 - Command line syntax
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If started from CLI the command line syntax is as follows:
ModInfo [ File File ... ]
or
ModInfo [ -d Directory ]
You can specify upto 10 files on the command line to be examined or you
can use the '-d' switch to specify a default directory to be shown if the
filerequester opens. When the program is started without any argument or
from the workbench then a filerequester will open. You can choose max. 10
files as with the command line. To enable this feature you will need the
'req.library' available either in libs: or in ram via 'loadlib'. You can
get a usage message if you run the program with '?' as the first argument.
