Notes:

1. In order to use this Protracker player you must first disable the
   internal Protracker player in the EaglePlayer manager menu (and
   sometimes the StarTracker player also, for example for modules from
   the game "Lotus III"). For playing Soundtracker (15 samples) modules,
   you must also disable EaglePlayer's internal OLDSoundtracker player.

2. This player doesn't play all tracker mods correctly. It plays some mods
   correctly, some incorrectly (mostly lame converted Soundtracker songs),
   some better, some worse, and some differently than the internal 
   EaglePlayer Protracker and OLDSoundtracker player.
   At present there is no single Protracker player which correctly plays
   all Protracker mods because there are too many different versions
   of the Protracker/Soundtracker editor/replay with different wait modes
   and sometimes even with different commands.

3. This player uses the WaitAudioDMA function so you can change the wait
   mode in the EP Timing submenu and set the correct values for your
   particular Amiga CPU and/or screen mode.

4. This version of the Protracker player is configurable via the EP player
   manager. You can set how the D command is handled for Soundtracker
   (15 samples) songs or choose how the replay handles 1 (arpeggio)
   and 2 (portamento) commands for the The Ultimate Soundtracker mods.
   The first (default) mode is "Pattern Break" which  works correctly
   with songs created in later versions of Soundtracker. The second mode
   is "Volume Slide", which works correctly with older Soundtracker songs,
   e.g the "Blood Money" title song. The third mode "Ultimate ST" is
   recommended to hear Soundtracker modules created with "The Ultimate 
   Soundtracker" (the first Soundtracker editor) by Karsten Obarski, 
   e.g. "Oil Imperium", "Future Tank", "Detector", etc. The configuration 
   will be saved to the "EnvArc:EaglePlayer/" and/or "Configs/" directories.
   If none of these directories exist then the configuration can not be saved.

5. This Protracker player was based on the Dens Design version of the
   Protracker replay routine used in the game "Aladdin". It was mostly
   used by famous tracker musicians like Andrew Barnabas, Volker Tripp and
   Bjørn Lynne. The main reason for this player is to allow you to play
   Protracker mods with (pseudo) subsongs like the ingame modules from
   "Aladdin" and "Cool Spot".

6. If a module uses the normal PatternJump command sometimes subsongs
   that don't really exist are detected.

7. The loaded module must always be at least as many bytes long as the
   calculated size. This is why some modules will give you an error with 
   this player.

8. If you want you can try to make a better Protracker player, the source
   is available on the WT page.

9. Now you can choose your preferred player version for use with EP 2.00+.

10. You can get the latest versions of Wanted Team products from:
