Finally I fond them (one of them ... Vogue) I'll contact him. In the FT2 page, he says that they are already considering an open-source release ! So I'll be contacting him, to see if he is alright with the idea that a couple of guys (who else wants to join ?) take on their project. >If you check out the webpage, you'll see thay've stopped development >completely on FT2 :( I thought so ! But maybe this means, they might let someone else continue develpment.... asking them won't hurt :-) >>>Anybody else interested ? > >Yes, Yes, and Yes again :-) >I've done a lot of DOS pascal & asm coding in the past including my own >xm/mod/s3m player. Yup. Good news. I never did a player, but a XM to MIDI converter (in Turbo-Pascal :-) >Unfortunately I'm only a newish convert to c and i might be a bit slow >there, but converting pas/asm -> c shouldn't be a problem. Exactly the same case as with me. I'm a Borland-Pascal coder who moved to Linux/C/CPP a while ago, but I'm still faster in Pascal than in C :-) p2c turned out to be a VERY neat tool ! >I would love to help with a port, in fact I was planning on writing an >editor myself from scratch using svgalib as the music partner in my demo >group was complaining about the current linux-sound-editors. I am complaining about linux sound drivers, editors and midi-sequencers. So I think it's time to do something about it. Sound is still one of the very underdeveloped items in linux... *sigh ! I'll let you know if I have news from Magnus "Vogue". regards... --------------------------------------------------------------------- David Jander J. | "M$-Windows sux, Linux Rulez !
