in reply to a previous posting :
Yes I do know that the whole soundtracker and noisetracker series came out 
originally on the amiga (heck ! I have them, even the one that crashed on 
ntsc systems (i.e: the very early ones) ...) .

but the thing is for the IBM computers, people saw the amiga programs and
decided to write an IBM tracker. 
I am not talking about a PLAYER program that will play MOD files, but program
that do what the ST/NT do, compose/play/show spectrum analyser etc...
That program is called ScreamTracker. It uses its own notation. (not the 
standard ST/NT hex-notation even though the file layout is relatively the 
same . 

i.e: 
first few bytes = title
then inst. names.
then music datas (tracks)
then at the very end, the inst. samples. 

it is easy to track down all the title,inst. name,inst. samples/. But the 
track datas are in an unknown format. (they show patterns but dont corespond
to the NT/ST ones).
