Welcome to Protracker V2.3d (beta 2)
----------------------------------------------------------------

This software preservation work of Protracker is made by:
- Per Johansson - Most of the tracker-part, and ptplay-bugfixing
- Ronald Hof - Initial work of tracker-part & ptplay-routine.
- Timm Müller - Initial work of tracker-part & ptplay-routine.

First question, why?

- I have to quote seinfeld on this. "Why not???". People are spending so much
time on watching
crap on TV or other stuff. I on the other hand, waste some of my spare-time on
this. The good thing
is that i keep practising my coding-skills. Beside it is very cheap therapy. ;)

So, how much functionality is there?

- Well, enough to get started i think. It is possible to make music. For me it
is quite stable aswell.

Below is a list of features from off the top of my head.

And if you appreciate my work, please feel free to write a nice email.

If you make anything by using this, please send it to me, so i can collect it on
my
website. Feel free to contact me for anything.

Remember, Have fun!
