Happy new 1993 everyone!

As my namesake (no relation I think!) wrote about STOS Tracker players yesterday
I'll mention a program I've developed called TrakBase for the STE which installs
routines for using Tracker .MOD files in memory at bootup and then points to them
with a cookie.

I use it all the time with GFABasic 3.5 and I suspect it could work with C as
well. I'll be writing docs for it soon (uni work permitting) and then if anyone
wants a copy then mail me at dxo@uk.ac.bham.cs.

You can start, stop, pause music as well as reading/changing many parameters
(position, channels playing etc) at any time. I'll also be releasing DeskTracker
a desktop front-end (which is very cool indeed, even though I say so myself!)
