$VER: SCOPEPT.txt by Smack/Infect 010895
------------------------------------------
This program plays a ProTracker module and shows some oscilloscope-like
plots on the screen. Due to the very CPU-hungry plotting routines and the
sprite anim it requires an AGA machine. It is recommended to have some
FastRAM and a powerful processor to enjoy the 'nicer' modes.
features: -3 screen modes (quadro, stereo, mono)
-3 plot modes (dotted, lined, filled)
-very _COOL_ sprite anim by A.Maschke
-online help :-)
-command line options for startup settings
If your machine is too slow for the selected plotting mode the screen
borders will flash red. You should use a different mode then.
(the dotted modes run even on a standard A1200)
I did not (and I never will!) implement a decruncher for the modules because
you can use some decrunch tool for this. (like MCP's crunchpatch)
There is the possibility to select the startup settings of the program
with some command line flags. These flags are optional and aimed at the
frequent users of SCOPEPT. (if there any! :-)
Please note that the flags must stand before the module name and each of
them must start with a '-'. (eg. scopept -h -m12 mod.noname)
Type 'scopept ?' to get the list of flags.
