What is the new name for 
 : 
 is beeing saved at the moment.... 

This is an empty sample, no use in saving it !

ENTER 'FIX (NR)'.             E.G. FIX 01

FIX  (NR)            - Fix instnames to ST-NR.|  
SI   (INSTNR)        - Save instrument intsnr.|  
REN  (INSTNR) (NAME) - Rename instnr to name. |  


Can't play an empty sample..

Introduction.

 Welcome to this brand new version of the MULTI-RIPPER.
 A lot of changes has been made since last time and this Document has also
 been rewritten. We hope you will enjoy this version as much as you have
 enjoyed the others ?!?

Whats new?

 At first you will see that the menu has changed alot!!
 We have also used parameters this time, this makes it a lot easier to
 work with.
 All instrument rippers will be much more pleased with this version,
 because you can play and save single instruments.
 A type command has also been inserted, it makes it easy to print out
 Menus etc..
 Now can the ripper also rip FUTURE COMPOSER V 1.4 modules + that
 the search routine is speeded up.
 We have also removed TFMX modules because we don't have any playroutine
 for it.(If you have, then please send it to us!)
 Some bugs has been removed (As the disk search routine for modules!)
 
Music formats:

 The ripper rips the following music formats: FUTURE COMPOSER V 1.0 - V 1.4
					      Noisetracker V1.0 - V2.0
					      Soundtracker all versions?
					      Soundmon  V2.0
					      Sidmod/Bugmon

The commands:

 I'll now EXPLAIN every command that this version of the MULTI-RIPPER has,
 so if you are a new user, READ IT CAREFULLY!!!


FIND command.

 This is the first command at the menu. It's very simple.
 If you want to find some text (E.G. Hello), you enter the find command
 and the text you want to find.
 E.G. FIND Hello
 Now the ripper search through the hole memory(CHIP) for this text, and
 reports every time it finds this text.
 Remember that you search for case sensitive text.

FILL command.

 This command fills the memory YOU spesify with ZEROS.
 Enter ONLY in HEX,and no dollar sign first.
 E.G.  FILL 20000 30000
 This fills the memory from $20000 to $30000 with ZEROS!

READ command.

 With this command you can read an EXECUTEABLE file into memory.
 The ripper automaticly starts to search for DECRUNCHERS after loading.
 If a not know cruncher has been used,  the ripper will try to locate
 ALL jumps to possible RUN addresses. YOU will then have the choise to
 disable the one YOU finds most natural. If it's wrong then just try again
 with another address disabled.
 E.G. READ DEMO
 This will read the file called demo. Remember that you also can spesify
 paths.

RS command.

 RS=READ SECTOR
 This means that you load with TRACKDISK.DEVICE. You cannot use this
 command on normal Dos disks, but it's very useful on Mega-demos and
 games with trackloaders.(SEE SCAN COMMAND later)
 E.G.  RS 2e0 3e0 30000
 This reads sector 2e0 till sector 3e0 to address $30000->
 Remember that 6E0 is max sector, and also remember that 
 the endsector can't always be set to 6e0 because that takes more
 memory(CHIP) than the ripper can handle writing to!)(It means that
 you probably will get a GURU if you try!)

RI command.

 RI=READ IMAGE
 Read image(DATA) files and checks them as the read command.
 E.G. ri DATAFILE 40000
 Read an image file called DATAFILE at $40000->.

WI command.

 WI=WRITE IMAGE
 Write image(DATA) file to disk. Here you have to mark start HEX and
 end HEX plus file name.
 E.G. WI 40000 50000 DATA
 Writes memory $40000 to $50000 to a file called data to the current dir.

LOAD command.

 This is VERY simple to understand. This command LOADS AND RUNS an
 EXECUTEABLE file. This works as if you had just written the filename
 in CLI.
 E.G. LOAD DEMO
 LOADS and STARTS an EXECUTABLE file called DEMO.

SAVE COMMAND.


 This command SAVES a MODULE to disk. THE MODULE MUST HAVE BEEN FOUND
 WITH THE RIPPER!
 E.G. SAVE MOD.NOISE
 SAVES a module called MOD.NOISE.

DIR command.

 This command is exactly like the CLI dir command.(SHOW DIRECTORY)
 E.G. DIR df0:
 Lists the directory DF0:

CD command.

 This command is exactly like the CLI CD command.(CHANGE DIRECTORY)

DUMP command.

 This command is like the Q command in SEKA .
 It lists HEX values and CHARATERS to screen.
 E.G. dump 40000 50000
 This will show all HEX values and CHARACTERS from address $40000 to
 address $50000.

TYPE command.

 This command is exactly like the CLI type command.
 It types a textfile. (WOW!)
 E.G. TYPE df0:Menu
 Types the file DF0:Menu in the window.

SCAN command.

 This command reads TRACK for TRACK and searches for decrunchers and
 modules. You will get the start sector of the module/decruncher
 when the ripper finds one.
 This start sector can you use as the start sector when reading
 sectors (RS).
 E.G. SCAN 0
 SCAN THE HOLE DISK!

 E.G. SCAN 1e0
 SCAN FROM SECTOR $1e0 to $6e0

 Putting a m for modules or d for decrunchers after the start
 sector to scan for just this one thing.
 (M for MODULES / D for DECRUNCHERS)
 E.G. SCAN 0 d
 SCAN sectors $0 -> $6e0 for decrunchers only.

HUNK command.

 This command search the whole memory for decrunchers.
 You will get a question if you want to decrunch found decrunchers,
 or continue searching.

JUMP command.

 This command is excaly the same as JMP in assembler.
 Jump to an address.
 If you have decrunched a program and want to run it, simply
 type JUMP and the ripper jumps to the start address which was in
 the decruncher.
 E.G. JUMP
 Jumps to the start of a decrunched demo. (Hopefully!)

 E.G. JUMP 40000
 jumps to address $40000.

LED command.

 Very simple, it just switches the led on / off.(FILTER).

MENU command.

 Prints out the menu in MULTI-RIPPER.

EXIT command.

 Quits MULTI-RIPPER and returns to CLI.

VIEW command.

 View memory on screen. (Like 3rd Day etc.)
 Use left / right mousebutton to increase / decrease modulo, and
 both mousebuttons at once to quit.

LMOD command.

 This command lists the start sector for all the modules found on
 the last SCAN.

LDEC command.

 This command lists the start sector for all the decrunchers
 found on last scan, and where they probably will decrunch in memory.

HUNT command.

 This command hunts for a module in CHIP-MEM.. (SEE MOD.INFO).

CONT command.

 Continues search for modules after finding one.

INFO command.

 This shows the information about the found module.

HELP command.

 Shows the help page. Here is also our addresses!!!

PLAY command.

 Play the module found. (INTERRUPT OFCOURSE!)

STOP command.

 Stop the module which is playing.

SUB command.

 Subtract the module address, this is neccesary on soundtracker modules!

ADD command.

 Add the module address, this is neccesary on soundtracker modules!

I command.

 This command plays an instrument (NOISETRACKER / SOUNDTRACKER) at a
 spesified rate!
 E.G. I 1A 200
 Plays insrument number $1A at the rate of $200 

STP command.

 This command stops the playing of a sample.

Fix command.

 This command  sets all instrument in the module to the same ST-Disk.
 E.G. FIX 99
 Sets all ST-Instruments to ST-99:

SI command.

 This command saves an instrument.
 E.G. SI 9
 This saves instrument to a ST-Disk or the current directory, if
 the samplename doesn't start with ST-XX:

REN command.

 This command renames an instrument to whatever you chose !
 E.G. REN 1 ST-12:HELLO
 Instrument number 1 will be named  ST-12:HELLO


This should explain all the commands at this MULTI-RIPPER V 2.0
Please do not mind a lot of spelling error and bad english,
(Hope there ain't too many errors, because I (Jelly-Fish) have been
correcting this document for quite some time now !)
cause I have not slept for a LONG time...
