Type:         util/dtype
Requires:     AmigaOS 3, AHI v2
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

Protracker datatype, using AHI version 2 or later.

Oh, by the way...  This is a hack.  It seem to work, but I have no official
documentation for datatypes at all so there may be errors.  In fact, it
probably is.  Let me know of any problems.

If anybody thinks that this was a cool idea, and wish to make a proper
music superclass, have a look at XModule on Aminet first.  I think that
could be a good start.

To install, do this:

copy Classes/Datatypes/protracker.datatype TO SYS:Classes/Datatypes
copy Devs/DataTypes/Protracker#? TO Devs:DataTypes
AddDataTypes Devs:DataTypes/Protracker

You can also edit the file ENV/DataTypes/Protracker and copy it to
ENV:DataTypes/Protracker

The first number is the desired audio mode, in *decimal*, and the second is
the mixing frequency.  If any number is 0, or the file does not exists, the
defaults will be used (that's the "Music unit" settings in the AHI
preferences program).

	Stephan Rupprecht <info@stephan-rupprecht.de>).
