               Diamond Player - MED/MOD replayer v1.6
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to Diamond Player, a MED MMD0/MMD1 and Protracker MOD replayer.

v1.6:

This is a major cleanup release with few bug fixes.
No new features in this version nor new music formats handled.

This version requires AISS package to be installed!

--------------
 Instructions
--------------

To run it simply click on the icon supplied. If this is the first time
you run the program you will be asked to choose AHI Audio Mode.
Then if you chose one of the available modes the window will appear with
eight buttons: These buttons are starting from left:

Play | Stop | Pause | Previous | Rewind | Fast Forward | Next | Load

Below the buttons there is status bar and the playlist.
Once you hit Diskette (Load) button you can add new
module(s) to the playlist. Now to start playing module
select its name in the playlist and hit Play button.
To remove it from the list push the Delete key when the
module name is highlighted.

Below the playlist is the playing mode selection button. (v1.5)

Module Once - module is played once then the playing is continued from
the next module

Repeat Module - one module is played continuosly

-------
 Notes
-------

The program will remember AHI Audio Mode aswell as directory with modules
in ToolTypes of icon. Next time you run the program from same icon you won't be
asked to choose Audio Mode and when you open new module the last directory with
modules will be used as default.

To override this directory you can either select another in Load option or
modify DIR= ToolType in the icon. Important: If you wish to change AHI Audio
Mode
just remove AUDIOID= ToolType from the icon.

I have written this program because I needed MED/MOD replayer which
use low-level AHI interface. The name of the program comes from the thing that
double PLAY button looks like diamond :)
