- Lind Mod Version 2.00 - Full Docs
- =================================
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- LindMod was originally written because I was sick and tired of trying to
- load a module in the background while I was working. I know there are other
- multi-tasking module players available but most of them had no decent hide
- facility, some are too big and litter up your workbench, some when you hide
- them disappear forever and you can't load another module.
- I also like to able to stop and start a module, just in case I suddenly need
- to concentrate.
- I also saw a multi-play feature on another module player, the one down fall
- which I found was that it loaded the module in when you selected its number,
- I found this a pain in the bum, especially if I had changed the disk which
- the module was on. My module player loads up too five modules in at once and
- if you want to change one that is possible to.

- Hide
- ----
-
- The hide button makes the LindMod window very small, if music is playing
- it continues to play as usual, but the module player is nicely hidden away.
- To return the window to its normal size you simpily close the small window.
-
- Load
- ----
-
- When you click on the load button a file requestor appears prompting you to
- load a module, you click on the name of the module you want (after going
- through its path) and depending on which music bank you have selected it
- will load in to it. (See Mod # for more info on music banks).
- Once loaded the module will play automatically until stopped with STOP (See
- Stop) or until another bank is selected (See Mod #) or until a module or
- Med module is loaded.
-
-
- Stop
- ----
-
- When you click on the stop button the module currently playing will be
- stopped, if the user then clicks on the play button the module will start
- again. (See Play)

- in the bank you have currently selected (see Mod #).

- system if you have importent work on your workbench.
-
-
- Load & Play Med
- ---------------
-
- This button brings up another window and a file requester, Med files can't
- be multi-tasked properly as each note has to be a seperate interupt.
- Select a file on the requestor and that Med module will be loaded and played.
- Press both mouse buttons to return it to the main window and to stop the Med
- module. If you are doing other work and you want the music to continue play-
- ing, this is possible but the music will slow down (alot at times).
-
-
- 0
- -
-
- This is music bank 0, it is treated as a completely seperate mod player as
- are 1,2,3 and 4. Whatever module you load into 0 will only be played with the
- play button if you click on 0 then play.
-
- 1
- -
-
-
- Bank 1 is the same as 0, but to load a module, into bank 1 you must click on
- 1 then load.
-
-
- 2,3 and 4
- ---------
-
- Exactly the same as 1 but click on 2,3 or 4 instead.
-
-
- Mod #
- -----
-
- This is the module number currently selected, if you press load when Mod has
- 1 after it your music will be loaded into bank 1, if you press play when Mod
- has a 3 after it, the player will play the music in bank 3 (if there is any
