Description
BANKMNG.TXT[2] wrote:
AdLib Instrument File Conversion Program The Ad Lib version 1.5 series product line features a new sound file format which is called an instrument bank file. In order to provide portability between the new V1.5 series and pre-V1.5 file formats, you will find on this diskette a utility program (BANKMNG.EXE) that converts from the new .BNK to the old .INS file formats and vice-versa. How to use the conversion program is explained below in the BANK MANAGER section. AdLib Instrument File Conversion Program is concidered obsolete. Use as a last resort. |
