!APTracker/PlayerInfo

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.

!S/Tracker (Soundtracker/Tracker module music player)
-----------------------------------------------------

Version 4.09 (24 Feb 1993) [dev]

Originally written by Hugo Fiennes and Fabrice Mercier
SWI interface and other bits added by Matt Farrow

 Feel free to use this module in any p.d. demos or programs etc., and for
inclusion with commercial programs if needed (but let us know first!!)
 Much time and effort has been spent on developing this module (for no
commercial gain), and it would be a courtesy if you could credit the authors
whenever you use it, and inform us if you intend to distribute it on a large
scale.

 The !S/Tracker application is a P.D. application, and may be freely copied
if nothing more than the cost of a disc and a small amount for the trouble is
charged, but it must be distributed with all the files complete and unchanged
(with the possible exception of the 'STDocsX/XX' file).



This module was written for enthusiasts who wish to enjoy the benefits of the
Archimedes sound system in a multi-tasking environment.

Versions 0.00 to 1.xx of the original module were written by Hugo Fiennes
                      allowing the playing of any soundtracker tunes.
Versions 2.00 to 2.xx were written by Fabrice Mercier and Hugo,
                      playing any tracker tunes (with changes/improvements).
Versions 3.00 to 4.09 were written by Matthew Farrow to allow the playing of
                      soundtracker or tracker tunes, with the SWI extension
                      from versions 4.00 onwards.
