A soundtracker mod from the boing/audio/music/st-nt/ directory.

Decompacts to: mod.Stevespam ... size 341K & a few bytes (can't remember)

First of all, let me warn you that this mod REQUIRES a ProTracker
playroutine... 1.1b is what I used so you ought to also (not really that
necessary, but make sure you don't use anything less than ProTracker!).

A little about this mod: First, why I bothered to upload it.  I realized,
finally, that the mods people tend to like are the ones with really long
samples which tend to limit the musical coding possibilities.  To me this
is more like cheating; when people do this, they're practically turning
ProTracker (or whatevertracker) into a sample-sequencer like with Audition4.
But oh well... This mod is about as close to that type of music I'll ever
touch.  I think it's safe to say that this one doesn't have much music to
speak of :).  You'll see what I mean.
Ok, why "spam"?  I used some quotes (not direct samples) from a Monty Python
skit (you know the one, perhaps).
Here's a warning for ya: This mod is QUITE odd.  I don't know of one stranger,
except maybe mod.ALOHA... (The punk mod.  Anyone know what the guy says when
he's speaking in crazy German?  If it were English, it sounds a lot like
"His finger comes off whiska needle!")
And finally, bear in mind that I DO REALIZE just how inefficient the mod is,
and how unnecessarily large most of the samples are.  But I didn't think it'd
be worth it to go back and fix everything.
Guess that's about it.  Sorry for the rambling; that's just what I do :).
Later!

PS: Be certain to E-Mail me if you get time; I'm interested to know if anyone
wants me to work on the sequel to Stevespam.

PPS: There is a text file in sample number $1F.  Read it (by saving it as a
sample)... (The MaruSampleText is MY idea, heheh!)

Greets: U4IA, Audiomonster, lots of San Antonians... (I can't get in touch
with the first two for some reason...)
