- 1) Look for Multiplayer, also - that knows the Whittaker player.
- Actually, it's trivial to play Whittaker tunes, as they've got the play
- routine as part of the module.
- 2) So reverse-engineer the structure of the Whittaker player and write an
- editor, ok? [actually, that doesn't sound like such a bad idea for some
- maniac...]
- 3) See #1
- 4) Er, um, no. Highly doubtful. The Dave Whittaker play routine takes a
- rather different approach than the trackers do.
- 5) The only mods i've ever seen "converted" is xT->MED, and that's because
- MED has a "load tracker mod" function. (And MED's really Just Another
- Tracker in its heart, cpu-sucking play routine and all.)
