ProTracker 4.1 finishes what ProTracker 4.0 Beta 2 (1997) left open and
brings the program to today's Amigas. All original features are kept.

4.1.1 replaces 4.1: FLT8 modules (Startrekker) load completely. Some
patterns lost tracks 1-4 when the 8 channel mixer ran while loading.

 - 8 channel modules (8CHN, OCTA, CD81, FLT8) load, play and save. 68020 or
   a fast 68000 mixes all 8 channels, a 7 MHz A500 needs fast RAM.
 - AHI sound cards, switchable while a song plays.
 - Graphics cards: own screen or a resizable window on the Workbench.
 - VU meters and analyzer show all 8 tracks at once.
 - WAV/AIFF, XPK, long file names, big partitions, effects 81y-87y.
 - SAVE EXE and MIX IT with 8 channels.
 - Setup on two pages, automatic first-start setup, colour scheme 4.1 or
   classic 2.3, online help, AmigaGuide manual.
 - Many Beta 2 bugs fixed, tempo timing compared against ProTracker 2.3D.

Runs from an A500+ (68000, 1 MB, Kickstart 2.04) up to 68060 and AmigaOS 3.2.
No installer: unpack, drag the drawer anywhere, start ProTracker41.
