But they are freely distributable as long as it's not included in any comercial product or sold for a price higher than the cost for the disk and drive use. All documents and files must always be kept together. The only exception is when it's copied to eg a harddrive for own use. You are not allowed spread it unless it's a 100% complete package. You are neither allowed to spread it if any file is changed. The best way to distribute it, is in a LhA archive. It may not be included in any comercial products without contacting the author before. All files are also classified as SHAREWARE. That means that you are not allowed to use for a longer time than two weeks it if you haven't paid the shareware fee. But you are allowed to distribute it. More about the shareware fee later. Fred Fish have the right to include PowerRipper in his Amiga Library. Other makers of PD-series also have the right to include it as long as all rules above are respected. Please respect these rules, and I will continue to make new versions of PowerRipper.

"Disclaimer" The author cannot be held liable for the suitability or accuracy of this manual and/or the program(s) it describes. Any damage (software or hardware damage) directly or indirectly caused by the use or misuse of this manual and/or the program it describes is the sole responsibility of the user her/him self. @ENDNODE @NODE 3. "Author" PowerRipper is written by Joakim Ögren in assembler to get the program as short and fast as possible. PowerRipper requires at least OS2.0 (V37+) to run, since it uses many of 2.0 features to get it as fast,short and powerfull as possible. If 3.0 (V39+) is availble some of V39 features will be utilized. If you only have 1.3 or lower I can only say: Upgrade 8·} @ENDNODE @NODE 4. "Purpose" PowerRipper is a utility to find NoiseTracker and ProTracker modules in memory and save them to disk. It will search thru all memory places availble. It starts with chipmem(s) and continues with fastmem(s). @ENDNODE @NODE 5. "Installation" To run PowerRipper you won't be needing any special libraries. This will reduce memory usage. (And maybe not trash your modules) @ENDNODE @NODE 6. "Template from CLI" ABOUT/S,MULTITASK=SLOW/S ABOUT Show some info about PowerRipper MULTITASK This will cause PowerRipper to multitask a bit. You can click in a gadget to stop search. You can use the Zoom, everything will be updated during search. It will go a little bit slower... Please refer to any AmigaDos 2.0 Reference for more information about Templates and modifiers. @ENDNODE @NODE 7. "All functions" Here is the complete documentation for all functions/commands in PowerRipper. (In order of appearance). All underlined characters are shortcuts that could be used instead of clicking in the gadget. Search This will start the actual search. If you have searched ¯ before it will continue where it stopped last time. Restart This will restart the search. It will search from the ¯ beginning again. Save This will save the module it has found to disk. You ¯ should enter the name in the file gadget. About Show a little text about the program. ¯ Destroy This will corrupt the module that PR has found (in ¯ memory). It will make it unfindable (and unusable). Good if you're ripping many modules and has found a module that you've already ripped. Use this one _very_ carefully! Deep Search This will cause PR to search a little bit better. But ¯ there's a chance that it will found things that aren't modules also. This will take a little bit longer. File You should enter the filename here. When you've found ¯ a module in memory it will put the modules name in this path. If you have entered a path to the file it will keep the path and just append the filename (the module- name). Search Type You could select here what it will search for: (the moduletype). - M.K. The original.. ProTracker modules - !PM! PowerMusic modules! Use optimod. - FLT4 StarTrekker (4-voices) or all types. By just selecting one of the types you'll gain a little bit speed. Datafields in the window: Memory: Name of the memory searched. (And address) Size: Calculated size of module in memory. Type: Identifier. (Could be 'M.K.','!PM','FLT4','FLT8'..) Pos: Position in memory Name: Name (if any) Len: Number of positions Pat: Number of patterns Status: Messages are displayed here. ------------------------------------------------------------------- The search can be aborted by pressing left and right mousebutton at the same time. ------------------------------------------------------------------- @ENDNODE @NODE 8. "Thanks" Thanks to: Niklas Edmundsson For helping me with a lot of ßetatesting. Myself For making this wonderful program. @ENDNODE @NODE 9. "SHAREWARE" This program is SHAREWARE, to get a version without the annoying requester in the beginning you should get yourself registred. All registred users will recieve a keyfile, this file will disable the annoying requester in PowerRipper AND in all future QTech Tools programs which requires registration. As you recieve new versions, (of PowerRipper or other QTech Tools Programs) this keyfile will work with them also. All distribution of the keyfile is totally forbidden! The keyfile is personal. You're allowed to use this program for trial period no longer than two weeks, if you find this program usable after that trial period you must register yourself. Register yourself by sending 50 SEK or US$10 (by international money order/postal money order in SEK, look at Registration Form for more info). As registred user you'll get the latest version of PowerRipper and other QTech Tools availble. If a new version is under development I will wait until it's ready before sending the programs/keyfile. Please remember that a lot of time and money have been spend on PowerRipper and other QTech Tools. You SHOULD GET yourself REGISTRED now! Continuing to use PowerRipper without being registred is both illegal and inmoral! ...and #?$*& :-) Use the Registration Form supplied with PowerRipper! @ENDNODE @NODE 10. "New version." To recieve the latest version of PowerRipper without registering just send a disk full with some GREAT modules (preferable done by you, if you're Good :-> ) and some money for the stamp (optionally send a stamp). And you'll recieve the latest version of PowerRipper for free. To _just_ get the latest version you don't have to send in the registration card. @ENDNODE @NODE 11.
