Censatsiya - AloneCoder decompiled Pro Tracker 3.x

========================= SENSATION! ===========================


   Done! (See # 3)

   Pro Tracker 3.x, the man who long ago and everything is the 
prepared for my job drives:) 

   Still, I had to decompile, set up the label (it was 
difficult to when this large number relocatable blocks!) 
nowadays after 14 days of continuous heavy, not afraid of the 
word work He modestly contained in six alasmovskih source code 
with fifteen loadable code faylami.Ne believe citizens who 
argue that any program can be decompiled for the week;) 

   By the way, I admire your courage MMCM'a which to insert a 
new player in PT 3.51 in the absence of sources and found 
changed SIXTEEN labels many of whom encountered Playing NOT 
ONCE unless say Larger! How he was able to do remains a mystery 
to me incomprehensible, but just in case I do not decompiled 
it, and another version - PT 3.42m ... ;) 

   Curiously, I still have about 175 (!!!) discs
intermediate version of the source =))))) While I do not 
slammed, they lie in different sorts archives totaling 65M =]]]


   After I started dekompilinga optimization, which resulted in 
the (currently) able to cut the program almost not _2k_!!!


   Of course, I know Nick, who wanted to release the editor 
quickly, but why is it prog inflate? 

   A masterpiece of coding;)


      PUSH BC

      PUSH HL

      PUSH IX

      POP HL

      LD BC, 6

      AND A

      SBC HL, BC
metka = $ +1

      LD A, 0

      LD (HL), A

      POP HL

      POP BC


   I long laughed :)))))

   Further follow-up search and glitches - release new version 
... 

   Question to the musicians: what sign to use the volume:
old (3.4f) or version 3.51? Both support the silly - will
same story that with frequency nameplates ...
