INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~

    TrackerINFO is a small utility that was written to allow users to play
NoiseTracker music modules.  I know that there are lots of other utilities
like this one available, but they all looked boring and didn't have any CUTE
features.  Therefore I wrote this one.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE
~~~~~

    TrackerINFO is VERY simple to use.  You just provide the name of the
module that you want to play, after the name used to run the program.  eg.


                            TrackerINFO <module>



            You need to provide a full path for the module.  eg.

                          ST-00:Modules/mod.<name>


    Unfortunally, this version does not support WorkBench, or have a file
selector to choose the module, but I will implment these options in a later
release.


    TrackerINFO ONLY handles 31 instrument Pro/NoiseTracker Modules, as this
is ALL it was designed for.  The file can be crunched with PowerPacker (No
encrypted files yet).


    The four lines of information in the bottom Lefthand box contain
information about the current note being played, and what instrument it is
using.  The four "VU Meters" on the BottomRight show the volume of each note
as it is played.
