- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- JAM.spobject is an external Library-Module for the superplay.library V1+.
-
- It supports reading of JAM Modules (JamCracker 1.00+).
-
-
- Requirements
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- - OS V2.04+ (V37)+ and its libraries
- - for reading of packed modules, either xpkmaster.library or
- powerpacker.library is needed :
-
- Packer needed Libraries
- XPK xpkmaster.library V2+, speficic xpk-compressor libraries
- PP20 a) xpkmaster.library V2+, powerpacker.library V33+
- b) _only_ powerpacker.library V33+
- <None> <no special libraries are needed, but they will simply pass
- through unpacked data modules>
-
-
- Remarks
- ~~~~~~~
- - As with other Players, the filename of the Module has to begin
- or end with the prefix/entension "JAM" ("JAM.module" or "module.JAM")
- - JAM.spobject at first tries to use xpkmaster.library.
- If this one is not available, it tries powerpacker.library.
- If none of them is available, it simply uses dos.library :
- So, if you read a packed module, although you did not install any
- decompression libraries, please note the following :
- After loading the data is checked, so that modules which could
- not be decompressed are rejected without any further notice.

- Credits
- ~~~~~~~
- The "powerpacker.library" V33+ is (C)opyright by Nico François.
- The Library is FREEWARE and is needed by JAM.spobject, to be able
- to read and play also PP20-packed Modules.
-
- The "xpkmaster.library" V2+ is (C)opyright by its authors
- (c/o Urban Dominik Müller).
- The Library is freely distributable and is needed by JAM.spobject,
- to be able to read and play XPK-packed Modules.
-
- The main Player Source-Code in Assembler was taken from a Public
- Domain Assembler Source-Code, which has originally been written
- by M. Gemmel and re-written by "Arcade of CADCAM".
- Some changes had to be made to assemble it with the SAS/C ASM V6.51
- and to make it living in the multitasking better than before.
- Finally, I had to change and add some more code to create an interface
- to the C-SourceCode of the SPObject's main routines.
-
- Here's an excerpt from the SourceCode as far as concerning the original
- authors (no special copyright notice was found, so it is perhaps
- Public Domain) :
-
- *
- * JamCracker V1.0 Replay routine, written by M. Gemmel
- *
- [...]
- *
- * This is not a demonstration source, showing how to write
- * a song-play routine. This source is merely ment for
- * inclusion in other sources, or as assembly module for
- * linkage with other programs.
- *
- * This source was modified for the MasterSeka V1.53 assembler
- * and can be easily modified for other assemblers. (Not true, it's a lot of work - Arcade)
- * The song should be inserted at 'mysong' near the bottom of
- * this source, in chip memory.
- *
- * Modified for MasterSeka 1.53 by Arcade of CADCAM
- *
- * Note from Arcade: I saved all of you who want to use the replayer
- * with MasterSeka a lot of work. So leave this text here, I want the credits.
