Having sat down at the keyboard, I decided to draw a letter for you Tyukaev.

Once I was in a museum and there on an old, old stone an ancient man carved that

Well, what is it, there is a picture of a mouse on the right, everything is decorated.

The thing is that it’s under Covox. And I say when you plug in the player, if you have
Turbo, Cache 16kb, SounDrive then it gives out 40000.

I’m sitting here, reading, and suddenly I see Kirill Frolov writes to Paul Falcon...

Hi Kirill!

who knows what bank is there, I haven’t seen a debugger for CP/M. and the address
is exactly 100h, the first 256 bytes in CP/M are some kind of variables.

KF> And why is .STM worse than .MOD?

is it the same thing, but .STM is the source, and .MOD is like compiled
muson.

Gon.
Both are the usual tracker muse.
First instruments/samples, then notes/tracks.
And Xm there, and It, S3M...

Hu and? FastTracker2.08 can save modules not only in XM,
but also in WAV. Should we now call WAV compiled XM or what? ;)

PF> stm player is exactly what I read.

You misunderstood. These are different formats, and the only thing they have in common is that STM was developed on the basis of MOD. Therefore, in terms of capabilities
they are almost the same.

Andrey is that you?
...why did you tell Paul Falcon about PRODIGI?

AK> Both are the usual tracker muse.

just the other way around. samples at the end 99% of the time. (except for various
hacker formats, well, completely perverted ;))

Good Luck...

Hello Paul,
In a message dated 19 Mar 98 you wrote to me :

Probably ;-)

From Denis Dmitriev To All 21 March 1998

This is some kind of ancient version of yours. It works with mods and a lot more (although it doesn’t understand .xm :)

In general, the .STM format was created as an analogue of the .MOD format for PC, but it turned out
seemingly weaker. And when editors on PC began to support mods, the need for .STM disappeared.


With the best, Denis.

The Scream Tracker line developed on its own, giving birth to the S3M format.
The transfer of MOD to PC was marked by the appearance of Fast Tracker and XM.

From Rick Murray To All 25 March 1998

You don’t have much F. in the first scrims stm was generally an alternative to mod.

I really should have read at least the description of the formats before making such requests. :*\
The standard STM was not next to the standard mod in terms of sophistication. It’s that they started adding all sorts of features to the mod, such as multichannel, after the advent of STM, in order to at least catch up with the latter.

It’s just not clear why this is being discussed here. go to ru.strack if
you are interested in anything about trackers.
