Sorry, you're right, lol. This would be better off posted on Epic's forum or should be moved to Misc/Comedy Café/Spam Central/JCS-related Rants :P

Anyway, I see that Epic used proprietary file formats to allow the music to work with their game engine, and to place restrictions on how large their software files are.

What I'm getting at is that the JJ1 music is Actually designed for an Amiga operating system, NOT an MS-DOS operating system.

However, Amiga OS should only be used for general arcade game display screens or some sort of dedicated music notation editing tablet or computer, IMHO.

NOT a console or a PC, but the JJ1 music theoretically plays on Amiga OS.

I know this is in the wrong forum, but to sum up my point:

- The JJ1 music is designed for Amiga OS, not MS-DOS.
- Amiga-based formats these days are only useful to me in terms of dedicated music notation editing software, or as an arcade-style gaming machine. My basis for this distinction is that all module music tends to have origins in the Amiga OS, and module files typically have lower file sizes for the sake of running games.
