               Little Introduction for the Use of PMTE V1.0

                               (18-01-1995)


                          1. Create an Executable


        Well, this is easy. Just click on the module-gadget and select
        your module, which you want to make executable. Then also select
        a filename for the exe-file, which will be created. Make also
        sure that you are in the 'Mod to Exe'-Mode. Now hit 'Load Module'
        and PMTE will load you module. You can now use the 'Play'-Gadget
        to test how your module sounds. Now you should press the 'Save
        Exe'-gadget and your exe-file will be created. This is the
        whole thing...



                  2. How to get a module from an exe-file


        Well, also easy. Make sure that you are in the 'Exe to Mod'-Mode.
        Now select the filename for the mod-file, which will be created.
        Next you have to select the exe-file. If you have selected it,
        just press the 'Load Exe'-gadget and the exe-file will be loaded.
        You can now use the 'Play'-gadget to make sure, that the module
        is correctly converted. It it sounds well, just use the 'Save
        Module'-gadget and the module will be saved under the selected
        name.



                           3. The comment-string

        You can enter this string and it will be saved together with the
        exe-file. Every time you then execute the exe-file, the comment-
        text will be printed to the console-window. The comment-string
        can be up to 79 chars long.



                            4. The preferences

        In the 'Preferences'-Window you can enter the default-paths and
        the task-priority of the exec-file. You can also set the dma-wait
        to any valume. If you have a turbo-card, the replayer might have
        problems with playing the module. So just increase the dma-wait
        and it should work fine now.



                      5. How to execute the exe-file

        Well, just call it via the cli. The exe-file will now play the
        module until you press both mousebuttons. Furthermore the comment-
        string will be printed and also the title of the module.


        Okay, that's it. I am sorry but this little text was written in
        about 15 mins. Therefore I cannot talk about all features. You
        can for example use also the keyboard to control PMTE. Just use
        the press the chars, which are underlined in the gadget-texts!
        Well, PMTE is surely not bug-free, so please don't blame me
        too much, if you will find any. Better inform me and I will try
        to remove the bugs, if it will be necessary.

        Sodele, just go and convert your mods like hell...

                                                     Yours, Yoko-Zulu
