--- About the client ---
This client lets XAD view and extract AMOS Basic sample-bank files. This is
the format that the AMOS Basic music extension expects to find samples in,
so that they can be easily played.
Upon extraction, these samples are converted from raw Amiga 8-bit signed
bytes into an IFF 8SVX sample, which includes the normal playback frequency
(as taken from the source IFF 8SVX sample, or as entered by the user when
creating the sample bank).
The sample bank also stores 8 characters to give the sample a 'name', but
the normal utility that creates sample banks simply uses the first 8
characters of the filename. So what this client does is takes these 8
characters, cuts them off after the first '.', and adds '.8svx'. So you
might see names like this:
Original filename AMOS sample name XAD filename
Fandabbidozi.sam FANDABID FANDABID.8svx
Boom!.sam BOOM!.SA BOOM!.8svx
Pop.sam POP.SAM_ POP.8svx
Fingers.sam FINGERS. FINGERS.8svx
