If you notice any mistakes or omissions, please let me know!  It is only
with YOUR help that the list can continue to grow.  Please send
all changes to me rather than distributing a modified version of the list.

This file has been authored in the style of the INTERxxy.* file list
by Ralf Brown, and uses almost the same format.

Please read the file FILEFMTS.1ST before asking me any questions. You may find
that they have already been addressed.

DISCLAIMER:  THIS MATERIAL IS PROVIDED "AS IS".  I verify the information
contained in this list to the best of my ability, but I cannot be held
responsible for any problems caused by use or misuse of the information,
especially for those file formats foreign to the PC, like AMIGA or SUN file
formats. If an information it is marked "guesswork" or undocumented, you
should check it carefully to make sure your program will not break with
an unexpected value (and please let me know whether or not it works
the same way).

Information marked with "???" is known to be incomplete or guesswork.

Some file formats were not released by their creators, others are regarded
as proprietary, which means that if your programs deal with them, you might
be looking for trouble. I don't care about this.

The .FSM files are samples to be used for module style music with the
Fandarole Composer. Currently only samples of up to 64K length are supported,
altough the header reserves a dword for the sample size.
OFFSET              Count TYPE   Description
0000h                   4 char   ID='FSM',254
0004h                  32 char   ASCII name of sample
0024h                   3 char   ID=10,13,26
0027h                   1 dword  Length of sample (<=64K)
0028h                   1 byte   Fine tune value for sample
                                 (currently unsupported)
0029h                   1 byte   Sample volume
                                 (currently unsupported)
002Ah                   1 dword  Start of sample loop
002Dh                   1 dword  End of sample loop. If the sample is not set
                                 to loop (see below) this should be set to the
                                 end of the sample.
0032h                   1 byte   Sample type, bitmapped
                                   0 - 8-bit/16-bit sample
                                 1-7 - reserved
0033h                   1 byte   Loop mode, ?bit mapped?
                                 0-2 - reserved
                                   3 - loop off/loop on

0034h                   ? byte   Sample data in signed format
