  • ROL2SND


Description

Lance Ewing's ROL2SND is a DOS command line tool for converting a music file in the AdLib ROL format to an AGI SOUND resource. The reason this tool exists is because I had an AdLib sound card way back when sound cards first came out. It came with a music composer tool called Visual Composer. I was fairly musical and had written a lot of music with this tool, so I decided to build an AGI utility to convert the saved files into AGI SOUNDs.

It converts the first three voices of an AdLib ROL file (as used with Visual Composer) into an AGI sound resource. I've made this program available in case some one else out there still has an old ROL editor.
