             UNI PLAYER v1.0


     Hello to all readers Adventurer 'a!
So finally released my new program for collecting tunes. First 
I would like to thank in ADVENTURER face ELF 'a for the prompt 
publication my program, as well as the following persons:

Alex NormaN for what was the soul
all the while creating a program for
beta testing, and, actually, for what
that he made me write this
program; GDM for possible assistance in the writing of some of 
the procedures; Captain PRONIN - a sound analyzer, and some 
competition;) and finally MAX SOFT 'y with DEATH SOFT 'om - for 
the very idea of such a types of programs (remember the ST 
and ST PLAYER BLOCKMAKER).


     So, with an introductory speech finished, we go strictly 
to the description. 


     Interface.


     The program interface is made in
Several old-style, some may
say that this level of 94-96 years, but
for yuzaniya without a mouse is, in my opinion, the most
the best kind.

     Cursor control is standard:
CURSOR (+ / - CS), QAOR SP, KEMPSTON.


     A few words about the service information:

     At the bottom of the screen printed
text extracted from the current song.
Just above the right is the analyzer
sound, and just below the menus written in the name of the 
music editor, in which written melody.


     A few words on the determinant: it
automatic, all supported by 6
Editors - Sound Tracker, Sound
Tracker Pro, Pro Tracker 2. 1, Pro
Tracker 3. 3 (3. 1, too), Pro Sound
Creator 1. 04 (1. 06 also plays) -
melodies of these editors are used without
player. Another program supports Asc
Sound Master, Version 1. 12 (02. FEB. 94)
and 2. 0 (remixed by Himik / Power of
Sound), but the melody must always be with the player.

     Separately to say about Sound Tracker Pro,
tone of the editor is stored in the block
without the player, and therefore - the name of the songs you 
are (unfortunately) do not know, because it dies with amputated 
player : (


     By the way, if you do not know everything, then
PT 3. 3 can upload nekompilirovanye
melody from ST, ST PRO, PT 2. 1, and then Campiglio in it. Thus 
it is possible keep the name of the tune ST PRO, and more

one small detail - when the stretch melody from ST PRO in the 
PT 3. 3 must be very exhibit LOOP, as he himself did not put 
(the rest of the editors of this Gluck not). And yet, one small 
request - for anything and never use a Playing my tunes, 
written in PT 3.3 remix (by MMCM) with plates

REAL / PSC / ASM - because it does not appear in the melody, 
except for changes in player, and so in my program, they

will be played correctly. A couple more
words on the PSC, as the tunes from the versions
1.00-1.03 is not played on a player from 1.04,
they can (and should) be recompiled
version 1.04 (or 1.06).


     Well, now I come to the program itself.


     Main menu:



     CATALOG - reread the directory. Need
to do when changing disc, but also seems to
after discharge melody.

     LOAD SONG - download the file and try to lose. Loaded in 
the first 64 Sector File, and then the determinant of seeking

melody.

     BLOCK PLAYER - download ringtones unit, created in this 
program. In the file window will list sorted blocks (type "b"). 
Cursor select the file and upload it. After Download a list of 
tunes, and change the main menus. On her watch on.


     BLOCK MAKER - create a block of tunes.
Similarly to the previous paragraph is changed
menu, as well as a service window is drawn,
drawn where the free memory and a name
the latter is a recorded block.

     DRIVE - change, drive. When changing
drive automatically reread directory. Undo function can be key
EDIT (CS +1).

     EXIT - exit in TR-DOS.


     And now for the menus BLOCK
PLAYER.


     PLAY SONG - run by playing the melody. Active cursor moves 
in file-window where you can select a melody.


     STOP SONG - mute playback.

     SAVE SONG - upload a single song on the disc. Cursor on 
the desired tone, you are asked which disk and under how to 
write her name. 

     EXIT TO MAIN MENU - exit to the main
menu.


     Finally, the menu BLOCK MAKER.


     CATALOG - the same item from the main menu.

     SELECT FILES - mark files. Mark the files you want to 
zapihivaniya SPACE key to the unit. In the service window you 
will see FREE MEMORY, which is 64 kb (65,534 bytes - 2 bytes of 
service). 

     CREATE BLOCK - create a block. Paste together
all tagged files in the block. Alternately
loaded all the files is determined by the type of editor, if 
the melody with a player, he cut off - so as a result of the 
length unit will be slightly less than you naotmechali. Once 
all files are loaded into memory, you will be asked to enter a 
name for this block, and change the drive if it is

needed. You can cancel the unloading of the unit by pressing 
EDIT. The program writes one or two files, depending on the 
memory is full. Type of file "b", the second type - "l". 

     DRIVE - replace the drive.

     EXIT TO MAIN MENU - exit to the main
menu.


     It remains to add that for
saving you valuable disk space, music can pack, and this
You can do this in two ways:


     1 - spakovat the finished block praticheski any packer 
(known to us exceptions are TRUSH and, in my opinion,

DSQ). A block can consist of one or
the two files (they are packed, respectively,
separately). Depaker must reside in the printer buffer (with 
addresses # 5B00).


     2 - before the creation of each block
Melody is packed separately, but with some limitations: the 
melody has to be packaged under the address 32768 (# 8000) and 
decompressed to the same, that is 32768. The program looks if 
the file is packaged under address 32768 (# 8000), then do CALL

# 8000 (depaker should be in the area
# 5B00-# 5BFF). In this case, the program
distinguishes only 3 types of packers - PCD
6. 2, HRUM 3. 5, MS-PAK 1. 96. Packed melodies can be like 
listening to the LOAD SONG 'e, and shove the blocks - they

stored in the form of Packaging, and at SAVE
SONG unloaded in raspakovanom.


     When you use the first method
packaged unit is a pair of triple
sectors is less than when using
second method of packaging, but in the second
method in the block fit a lot more
melodies.


     That's, like, all about the program.


     Some information on the determinant
type tunes.


     ST, ST PRO and PT 2. 1 - these were the determinants of 
tear VIRTUAL PLAYER (MASTER PLAYER?) - I hope you look at me

do not be offended - we ourselves would not have written them.

     PSC 1. 04, PT 3. 3 and ASM 2. 0 are defined in the text in 
the melody, but we would like to have more advanced analyzers - 
the content of tunes - so that if someone has made such - send, 
I will Much obliged.


     ASM v1. 12 In the text still checks that the player was 
relotsiruem. 

     FAST TRACKER does not participate in the program for one 
simple reason - we do not have this editor. A PSM, we did not 
maintain, as I have never seen melodies from He nafig nobody 
should. 


     COMING SOON: what is expected in future releases.


     Some changes in the number of types of tunes.

     Ability to save text in melodies ST PRO (by storing them 
in a block with the player). 

     Function UPDATE BLOCK - add files to an existing unit.

     In the SAVE SONG will be unloaded
more than one melody at a time.

     Some interface changes.

     Counter notes the length of the melody, and other
information about the melody. Oh, and something else
invent.

     Storm assembler v1. 1

     STS 6. 2

     ADM 7. 08

     Spectrum emulator by N. Shalaev

     UKV Spectrum Debugger v1. 2


     Using hardware: Pentium 166MMX



     My coordinates:

     And now extraneous information.


     Who are SLIDERS 's and what they do?


     SLIDERS group was organized
sometime in the summer and autumn of 1995 - when the first 
issue SPECTROPHOBY. Then I (Rimo Black, then still a KVANT

SOFT 'om) met with Alex Norman' om
He started helping me with the magazine, and
then found another spektrumistov to techies -
GDM 'a - full name Gorbunov Diman, and
also has two personalities, but they are from
Speck has already moved, and little interest in them. And in 
Volgograd in the market, I met with Captain Pronin 'th, which 
Speck is currently engaged. That was and formed our team. But 
after 6-th number SPECTROPHOBY, and my purchase

PENTIUM 'a - work on the Spectrum were
discontinued - so few GIFT friend
for a friend. And now we can say
revived - for example, I'm on an emulator
wrote his UNI PLAYER, GDM managed to make demo BOLO, to sell a 
Spectrum Buy IBM, sell IBM, collect Spectrum (actually it was 
not collected, and confiscated a comrade and a monitor in I). 
Alex Norman sewed in ROM STS 4. 3 and now causes it to magico, 
with return to stalled program. And I'm under emulator made STS 
6. 2.
