~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   CPU_MOD   for ATARI STE  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        CPU_MOD is a *.MOD player for STE ,
        yes , but NOT JUST ANOTHER *.MOD player ...  TRY IT !!!!

        I coded it because I haven't found ANY good player on ATARI
             (e.g.:
              PROTRACKER
              AUDIOSCULPTURE
              ESION
              PAULA
              DESK-TRACKER
              ULTIMATE TRACKER
              50KHZPLAY
              CRAZY MUSIC MACHINE
              ... OUF )

        It sounds differently (NORMALY IN FACT !!!) because it's my own code
        entirely rethinked , and not a code ripped on Amiga and badly converted.

        Of course it has all the sound effects (CIA timing , E-commands ...) ,
        the routine core length is lesser than 7000 bytes long and
        needs 70000 bytes free only. (You can use it in your programs)


        This directory contains:

        READ_ME.TXT     :This file.
        USEITBAS.TXT    :A file with an Omikron source to use it in your PRGs!

        CPU_MODA.ACC    :A ACC-Shell
                        :A PRG-Shell , if you rename it in CPU_MODA.PRG .
                        :A GTP-Shell , if you rename it in CPU_MODA.GTP and
                         install it with the menu option of the Desktop .
        CPU_M300.PRG    :The CPU_MOD version for 520STe owners (Thanks Patrick)
                         You can't load MODs greater than 300Ko (buy a Mega)

        CPU_MODA.RSC    :The ressource file for CPU_MODA.ACC

        CPU_MOD.BIN     :The routine usable in your programs.
        CPU_MODX.S      :The source in ASM of CPU_MODX.TTP
                         See it for using CPU_MOD.BIN
                         (Even if you are not an assembly programmer you
                          can use the routine also in BASIC , C , ... )

        SOUNDTRK.TXT    :A file info on module structure.

                         <<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>

                         <<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>

    _There are keyboard short-cuts for CPU_MODA.ACC:

        P       :POWER
        L       :LOAD
        Space   :Play
        -       :Stop
        (       :Song position Reverse Search
        )       :Song position Forward Search
        +       :Fast Forward mode OFF/ON
        .       :Repeat mode OFF/ON
        /       :8 bits/16 bits
        *       :Mono/Stereo
        0       :50066 Hz
        1       :25033 Hz
        2       :12416 Hz
        3       :06258 Hz
        Return  :Exit


    _The Fast Forward mode respects the construction of the module and read
     all the commands ,
     the Song position Reverse Search and Song position Forward Search : NO
     (It permits to "pass" the levels for Game-modules)

    _When you use CPU_MODA.ACC , before changing the screen resolution
     you must be in "Stop" mode , or better in "Power OFF" mode
     to avoid problems.
     (Also for some programs , you will see ...)

    _If the program returns to the desktop then
        _The module is packed ... (Depack it !)
        _The module is altered (ripped souce ?)
         Load it with PROTRACKER for example, save it with a DIFFERENT name and
         quit PROTRACKER .
         Take a look at the new length , you will see the amount of missing
         bytes.
         If this amount of bytes is too important (>8 bytes) the last sample(s)
         is (are) altered , Sorry , try to repair it (them) .

    _The 50066 Hz mode works only on 16 MHz computer
     (It uses only the voices 1 and 2 on a 8 MHz computer , sorry ...)
