What it is:

 DUMP is a simple player for 4/6/8 channel .mod files
 generated by various programs and musicans.



Needs:
 
 DUMP needs a Falcon running some sort of TOS compatible
 operatingsystem.



Reason:

 There were no .mod player that could play 4/6/8 channel
 files without crashing on a Centurbo 2. And, to my knownledge
 there is no other DSP-based player that works in MiNT
 virtual terminals.



Resources:

 DUMP is easy on system resources. It only need the space for
 the .mod file you load plus approx 50k more. 8000 bytes of
 this is reserved into ST-RAM (DMA-playbuffer).



Options:

 -q (-Q) will force the player to quiet mode, eg. no screen-
         output.
          
 -s (-S) surround sound enable
 
 -i (-I) interpolation enable
 
 sample commandline: dump -s -i /foo/bar.mod
            
 

Disclaimer:

 You're using DUMP at your own risk. The authours cannot be
 held responsible for any damage it might do.



Copying:

 DUMP is freeware, copy as much as you want. The source is
 distributed with it. If you add a function, please e-mail
 the upgraded version back.



Sourcecode:

 Is quite well documented. It's in assembler and is 
 working right off with gen or assemble. The code is not
 perfectly optimized or have an ideal structure.
