  In this document file are all players listed that are officially released
  or supported by Delirium Softdesign.


  1. SOME WORDS

  All players from us are adapted and tested with care. If problems arise
  from our adaptions we will fix them till the next release if possible. For
  this we will need some informations about your system (type, processor,
  memory, kickstart) and a precise description of the fault. In addition we
  must know which version of DeliTracker was used, which player and/or
  module(s) caused the fault.

  If you have removed a bug or improved a player we would be pleased if you
  send this player to us. If you have adapted a completely new player it
  would be nice if you send us the player (perhaps with source) and some
  modules for this player. Please remark if we can include the player in
  the next distribution. We can not make any warranties for modules that
  include the replay routine. If you send me routines please include some
  modules for testing. Any other routines are welcome too.

  We can not make any warranties for modules that include their replayroutine.

  ProTracker            ProTracker Player (supports all PT1.1b effects)
                        all internal ST like players are based on this
                        replay routine. Uses NotePlayer Interface.

  CustomPlay            With this interface it is possible to integrate
                        special players and modules. The module contains
                        the full relocatable replay routine. Custom Modules
                        are more like a players than a modules.
                        Note: DO NOT PACK CUSTOM MODULES !

  IFF-8SVX              Don't pack the samples. Loads samples while playing.
                        Has a GUI for some memory settings. Hint: The normal
                        audio DMA can playback samples with frequencies up
                        to 28 kHz. If you want to play samples with a higher
                        samplingrate make sure to have a productivity screen
                        in the foreground. This is because in the current
                        hardware, the audio DMA is coupled with the scanrate.
                        The hardware can output two samples per scanline.
                        In standard video mode, this results in a maximum
                        output rate of 2 x 15kHz = 30 kHz. In productivity
                        the scanrate is doubled so the maximum output rate
                        raises to ~60 kHz.

  IFF-SMUS              This player has a GUI for setting the instrument
                        path.
                        Notes: Songfiles where no instrument is set are
                        recognized and loaded, but you won't hear anything.
                        The instrument names must have a '.instr' suffix.
