SSD->SND conversion v1.0


Some people (hi 505 :-)) asked how to make SND files themself from
SSD tracks. And as I had no own tool for this, I made a little
shell that assembles, cut headers and so. Ok, it is rather sucky
to use it like this, but it's not so difficult.


How to create SND files from SSD, step by step:


1.	Edit the file makesnd.s in your favourite texteditor, such
	as Qed, Everest or Devpac. Don't use a wordprocessor or so,
	it needs to stay in ASCII format. 
	Avoid to use ' and " signs for easiest operation.
	The already present ' signs *needs* to stay.

	When editing makesnd.s you should change the composer,
	year of creation, who made the snd conversion and so on.
	Deep down in the source you have to specify the filenames
	of the tvs and tri files as well.
	
	When this is done, save and goto next step.


2.	Run the convert.tos program.

	This is the shell that calls genst and so on.
	If something goes wrong, it reports so.
	
	Source for this "shell" can be found in src 
	folder.

	If everything went fine and you have a track.snd
	file created, go on to next step.
	
	If you had problems, like if headcut.prg was not found,
	then you have probably written the wrong filenames of
	the tri and tvs files.


3.	Run ice_2_4.prg

	In the two formular alerts, select:	1. data
						2. no
	
	In the fileselector select track.snd
	
	Wait until a new alert comes up, answer no there.
	

4.	Rename track.snd to what it should be called.


5.	Voila, done!
		
		

Example:

	You can run convert.tos directly and see how it behaves,
	it will make an snd of the example song.tri and song.tvs.
