This is a quick doc of Extreme's Tracker v0.7 Beta. This release is a
SAVEABLE version, meaning you can save AMS, MOD and SMP files as many
times as you wish (v0.6 only allowed one AMS save).
If you find this beta useful, please let us know; it encourages us to
continue working hard on this program. Donations are very welcome!
The coders of this tracker (Baldric and Zyric) are very busy at the moment,
as school takes a hell of a lot of time. Consequently, we are not left with
nearly as much time as we'd like, to sit in front of our beautiful screens,
coding this tracker.
Happy composing,
Baldric/EXTREME
This small doc is divided into the following parts:
