MED2XM is a little shell utility to convert OctaMED Sound Studio modules
(MMD1, MMD2, MMD3) to FastTracker 2 (XM) modules. Usage is simple:
at the shell prompt type

  med2xm <MMD file name> [XM file name]

and the program will convert the OctaMED module and create the XM file.

Limitations

It can't convert a module that has
 * more than 32 channels (this is the XM limit)
 * patterns that have more than 128 lines (same reason)
 * instruments with hold or decay
 * synthetic or hybrid instruments
 * MIDI instruments
 * multiple songs
 * too many simultaneous commands (it tries to use the FT2 volume column
   whenever possible)

New Features in V1.4.0
 * miscellaneous bugfixes concerning effects, volumes, ...
 * The new -Q switch disables most output and "fancy" console IO.
 * You can specify the output file name as an additional argument
 * Use -p switch to force usage of 68k for converting (by default
   PPC is used is present)

If you find bugs or tunes that won't get converted right/at all, please
e-mail me about them. If possible, just tell where I can find the problematic
OctaMED module, instead of e-mailing it to me ('coz I'd probably get giga-
bytes of them). And of course, if you think this is a brilliant utility,
i don't mind getting some positive feedback either.
