IBM "WOW" Format Created by "Mod's Grave" (aka "Grave Composer") for the IBM. ------------- From the IBM MultiPlayer Docs: - WOW : this is another variation on MOD format, based on 8 channels. These mods can be recognized only by file extension (.WOW), so that you can't mo- dify it. These modules were created by Grave Composer on PCs. ------------- From Stefan Danes <sdanes@marvels.hacktic.nl>: >WOW This weird format is identical to '8CHN' but still uses the 'M.K.' ID. You can only test for WOW by calculating the size of the module for 8 channels and comparing this to the actual module length. If it's equal, the module is an 8 channel WOW... ModuleSize for 8 Channels: 43Ch + NumberOfPatterns*8*EventStructureSize*NumberOfRows + SizeOfAllSamples= 43Ch + NumberOfPatterns*8*4*40h + SizeOfAllSamples -------------
