!AWMay91/Goodies/Coconizer/!Coconizer/Ready?
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.

INSTALLING ON HARDDISC / DISCS 3rd March 1991
==============================
To install Coconizer on Harddisc or Disc, adapt the !Boot file of
!Coconizer appropriate its documented lines please. Mark the 'not needed'
lines with a leading "|", do not delete them please. That means you
should find the following lines in your !Boot file :
For Disc use: Set Alias$CSD_Coco Nodir
Set Alias$CSD_Dism Dismount :0
For Harddisc: Set Alias$CSD_Coco Dir <Obey$Dir>.^
Set Alias$CSD_Dism *
MEMORY ALLOCATION
=================
Coconizer grabs all memory of the next slot when it's booting (ensuring
to have memory for a 160K screen). For users of 1 MB this doesn't matter
as they usually haven't space for several larger programs (oh, I know -
I'm using ONE MB). If you should be the lucky owner of more than a single
MB then you could adapt the Wimpslot -MAX value of Coco's !Run file
appropriate your requirements.
SOME FIXED BUGS, IMPROVEMENTS
=============================
With version 1.1 (August 1990) :
- The internal pattern handling was incorrect sometimes, when only one
pattern was entered at all. So you couldn't use this pattern at "Edit
Sequence" occasionally. Fixed now.
- Packing now works without buffer => song still exists after saving
(well, actually this was absolutely necessary).
- No window scrolling => faster *command availability.
- Auto-repeat-delay for editing note values.
- Amiga Transfer now recognizes new soundtracker format (31 Insts, but
still doesn't convert Paula's vol/period-modulating commands).
With version 1.2 (November 1990) :
- Harddisc users couldn't load instruments directly from HD by hand, due
to a very small ("$")-bug. Corrected now.
- Empty pattern play, edit single sequence and single pattern play don't
crash any more.
- The losing channels don't lose (to 95%) any more, due to improved
startup synchronization (exactly what I told about...).
- Coco now uses another mode 123, cause of some conflicts with other
"modes 99" !
- Coco now remembers which song or instrument was pointed last, when the
filer window is reopened.
- Simple game sound effects (fx) interface added to the Player. With it
you can make several sound effects together with a playing tune.
- New command "Set Stereo Position of current Channel" added.
- Improved Locater and AmigaTransfer tool.
- Coco's player routine is now relative, ie may be loaded and be run
everywhere in memory, together with a "Restart-Tune-Entry".
- Autostartable songmodule maker available now.
With version 1.3 (January 1991) :
- Finally we did it and added a desktop front end to Coconizer. This
includes dragging and doubling clicking of song files, saving in the
usual manner via 'SaveBox', etc.
- Running out of memory doesn't cause problems any more.
- Simpler implementation of the player routine into own programs.
With version 1.31 (February 1991) :
- Turbo player routine added (four voices only), needs just about 15% of
the ARM II processor speed. Normal player uses about 20%
- The RISC OS bug "crashing with an address exception after mounting too
many discs" brought some problems to Coco when having used more than
six sample discs. Using an Alias$Command "Dismount :0" fixes this now.
- Exactly the same applies for the Locater tool, which (or rather: RISC
OS) reported a crash after having located more than six discs.
A Quicksort algorithm speeds up the sorting considerably now.
- The routines Player and Turbo don't lose channels any more, because
Coco's voice generator now disables interrupts at the begin of buffer
filling (and enables again at its end). If some of your system devices
can't accept lengthy waits, then it's possible to remove these orders
(like the Modul player does).
Well, that's it so far. We're always waiting for further bugs (ahhh), and
wish you happy tracking! If there should be questions, some trouble,
suggestions, the need for more songs & samples (currently 8 discs) or if
you have nice Public Domain songs then please don't hesitate to write to
us.
