SPL1.0 sample format

Tetramed supports a lot of common sample formats to export(import) samples
from(to) module. But there wasn't format to support information about
module sample (loops, loope, volune, finetune) and that's why we created
our own format. Here is its structure:

4  bytes - "SPL1.0:" - id string
22 bytes - sample name
2  bytes - size (real size * 2)
1  byte  - volume
2  bytes - loop start
2  bytes - loop end
1  byte  - fine tune
size*2 bytes - sample

Note: Also samples stored in library are in this format.

Plans to next version of Tetramed

Note: If you have registered version of Tetramed you will receive information
about that.

This is a version which has many additions and improvements. Now, there will be
NO bigger release for several months (maybe there will be some bugfix-release
of this version). It's because we are working on a better player which will
support up to 32 channels and EMS. It should be finished by the end of April
1994. Of course, all your ideas and comments are welcome and very helpful.
