Does anyone know what or where I can get the file format for the SoundTrakker/ NoiseTrakker music files? I'm not sure if these are the correct names of the programs, but I saw an IBM program that interpreted these files, and I want to do something similar on the gs. On the IBM, they are called mod files. Any help would be appreciated. I need some pretty technical info, including the format of the actual instruments. Thanks. Please respond by email, as I do not read this group regularly. Steven Chiang Coming Soon: DreamGrafix 3200 color power stc7@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu America On_Line: DWS Steve Apple IIgs Forever!

Format ? Format ? You mean LACK OF FORMAT. The ST/NT module format is VERY loose. It took me about 6 months to hone my ST/NT module loader code for my module player so it plays about 99% of everything I've encountered. I suppose I should do the world a favor and write a description of all the insanity one must go though to load a ST/NT module.. > Any help would be appreciated. I need some pretty technical >info, including the format of the actual instruments. Yeah. The GS would be a pretty good machine to write a ST/NT player on, considering its sound capabilities. Much easier than doing so on an IBM klone. I suppose I'll start writting that Tfile, and post it here or something.
