  described as 'one of the best trackers to have appeared for ages'. )

New in release 2.4:
      - MED loader now correctly interprets sample-finetune for sample 2 and up
      - Fixed bug causing pro2 to always write a fastdir-file after saving
        a song or sample. Updating of long fastdirs has also been fixed.
      - included fileformat-description in distribution

For those of you unfamiliar with pro2, here's a short (and incomplete)
overview of it's features:
- Loads several different module formats
- Loads several different sample formats
- 127 samples. The samplelength is only limited by the available memory.
  Samples may have sequences.
- pro2 can play samples located in fastmemory, and do real-time upsampling
  of the sampledata -even on a 68000- to achieve a 5 octave total range.
- pitch-control
- link option
- sample-editfunctions include: equalize, DC adjust, mixing, chord generation
- 128 patterns, with a length of 1-9999 lines.
- pro2 can record keyreleases, notedelays and velocity. (An appropriate midi
  keyboard is required for recording velocity)
- optional programming language for pattern-sequence
- autorepeat effect commands
- search and replace function with wildcards for notes
- very good polyphonic recording
- easy to use
