FireMOD version 1.00 MOD player (4-8 channel) by FireLight
=============================================================================
This player is just a toy around with gus code and stuff, so shouldnt be
taken as the next cmod ;) (It supports more effects than DMP and plays mods
more correctly than it so its ok for me :).
This player gets more memory in dosshell than most players.. 112-122kb more
than 1 certain player.

too lazy.

FEATURES:
=========
GUS support & autodetection.
4,6 & 8 channel mod support.
MDP style screen but shows chords (and is more accurate volume wise).
Extension autodetection (no need to type .mod at the prompt).
DOS Shell (plus resident timer reset function - see 'keys' - f12)
exciting huh :)

KEYS:
=====

Main Screen
-----------
+,-         - Change Master volume (pretty rough but adequate for now).
[,]         - Change speed faster, slower
{,}         - Change BPM slower, faster
ESC         - umm
d           - DOS shell.
right arrow - move forward a pattern.
left arrow  - move back a pattern.
1-8         - mute a channel (doesnt work - more of a 'temporarily shut up' :)
SPACE       - shuttle scrolly forward faster.
ENTER       - move to text mode GUI interface.

Text Mode GUI Interface.
------------------------
SPACE       - Toggle between numbers and squares for the MDP style blobs.
ENTER       - return to Main Screen.

AnyWhere (even dos shell).
--------------------------
F12         - Resets the mod to its proper speed (mainly for dos shell).  In 
	      dos shell this is most useful, as some programs like MS-Edit 
	      cause the mod to grind to a halt, as they are resetting the 
	      system timer which the mod player relies on.


GUS Clicks : 
------------
This player is full of gusclicks.  It only really shows up on
certain samples, like bass guitar.  I havent done any
specific GUS click removal.
	    

FUTURE VERSION:
===============
After I get this beta out of the way i am going to rewrite most of the engine,
which will be a lot faster, and memory efficient.. it will have..

- New pattern storage system, which will improve speed many times over
  compared to the current storage system.
- faster and different play routine which will play voices on a row
  nearly all at the same time, rather than at the moment it works out each 
  voice and plays it one by one which isnt exactly accurate.
- .XM support
