!STracker/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

STracker
By B D Summers
v1.00  31st May 1990

This program provides a wimp front end for playing sound tracker tunes 
using Hugo Fiennes' module. To play a module, you can double click on its 
icon or drag it to the STracker icon on the icon bar. The menu allows you 
to stop playing the module. To get some infomation on the module, click 
with select on the STracker icon, or choose 'Info on tune' from the menu.

The program surports incoming transfers from other applications, but does 
not use RAM transfer, because the data would have to be saved to a file 
anyway, so we might as well use the scrap file.

If you want to contact me, write to me at the address below (with an SAE 
if you want a reply). Send a disc with some good sound tracker modules if 
you want a quick response.
