I asked this before, but got no response...Does anyone know of a Public Domain DMCS (Deluxe Music Construction Set, I believe) song player (or a program to convert DMCS songs to SMUS, SoundTracker/Noisetracker, MED, etc. format). An ftp site would be nice (or though email, or USENET). Thanks... Mark Craig mark@zach.fit.edu Mark R. Craig Internet: mark@zach.fit.edu UUCP: ...!winnie!zach!mark

You suggested SMUSplayers on FF-58. Will these play DMCS, or do you have to
save the DMCS files as SMUS files?
Lastly, WHAT is the full name of FF-58? it's not in my site lists.
Thanks,

If you weren't so arrogant and trying to promote your own smus player, you'd perhaps realize that there is not a direct correlation between DMCS format and SMUS format. Saving in SMUS will mean that you'll miss out on many DMCS features, including all the play styles (and I think repeats). Unfortunately, the only way to play DMCS songs properly is to purchase DMCS. > >-- > >+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ > >| Dallas J.

It isn't being updated any more (too bad, the bugs and limitiations could use some work), but the product works, even under 2.02. > Mark R.

I would like to play my DMCS songs also, on a stand alone basis. I have converted the to scores (songs), but I don't have all the instruments in a SMUS format that the SMUS player can use. Is there some program available that will do this for me? Walter Boese walterb@sequoia.cray.com

You also need to manually copy out any repeats, because DMCS neglects to do that when writing a SMUS file. :-< -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.
