Pro Tracker 3.X Mod Finder v1.2

(C) Dr.Lion / RSM


  Hello dear readers of the new elements
trons edition 3Bit! Today I want to limit
dstavit you my small but very useful utility. As you understand 
from the title Article - this is a program designed to

search for music format modules PT 3.x.
You may say that long ago there such a thing as PUSHER, which 
finds any music in any data. But my program, to compared with 
PUSHER'om has several neosparimyh advantages, namely: - 
PT3Finder installed in the cache memory and 

  invoked by pressing MAGIC;
- When you run the utility performance of the main

  program stops and starts

  Image memory for modules PT3.x
- Found the module immediately begins Player
  discontinuity. A small tip on the screen

  indicates you are on two possible actions.

  Pressing BREAK losing
  of stops and the program is renewable
  em search modules. When you press

  ENTER you get into recording mode module

  The screen shows the directory of the current discrete
  ka, at the bottom of the screen you specify the

  file name for the module found. By cluster
  Viseu ENTER module is written to the current
  schy drive;
- The utility used my universal PT3

  player, which automatically detects

  frequency table of the module. If the module

  playing with bugs, then it means that

  module, most likely, was at the crossroads

  regions # 8000 - # BFFF and # C000-# FFFF. In

  this case, simply continue the search and

  program will be a combination country
  down memory, in which the module will be but
  rmalno play;
- After the utility had found all the fashion
  Do you have them, and successfully recorded a resume
  Xia job prervanyh main program,

  you keep your job.
And now about the shortcomings (which, without them):
- The interface is primitive enough;
- Modules are found on their PT'eshnym

  Titles that can not find a fashion
  Whether with broken or modules

  from the editor Vortex Tracker;
- Not supported in the extended search

  memory;
- And most golimy drawback - sometimes not

  Unable to write module to disk. In Uchi
  the literature used the so-called microscopically DOS

  which replaces all the necessary functions

  standard DOS and works with ports

  controller directly. But sometimes the procedure
  algebra read / write do not work. What's here

  business, I have not yet figured out.
What will the new version:
- Search is not on the title of the module, but by its

  specific features that allow

  eliminate the second disadvantage;
- May be applied to the window interval
  face with the user;
- On the third drawback, I do not

  see the point;
- I hope will be remedied glitch mikroDOSa;
- Maybe add something else.

  Look for updates in the annex next issues of our electronic 
edition!
