What happened to NOTATE?!

Post by no_shot »

I know NOTATE is a piece of garbage, but it's the only thing I know how to use, and I can't find it anywhere. Did it just vanish out of existence?

Well, the wiki says that it's still found in the released versions, so you could try to get it from there.

And that signature..It's hideously huge!
Is all that really necessary? :zombie:

Trim the sig.

NOTATE is still around, but it will only produce BAMs, which are lower quality due to lack of a percussion channel.

That isn't what the wiki says. it says that the source code is availble. Notate is not included in current releases, but if you still need a copy of notate.exe you can find it in the older releases in http://HamsterRepublic.com/ohrrpgce/archive/

I will update the wiki to say so...


Anyway, Notate is still a DOS program, and it still only compiles with QuickBasic 4.5. So you will almost certaily have sound problems with it unless you run it inside DosBox.

Hmm...maybe it's not even worth the effort to hunt for and download NOTATE. Methinks it is time for me to modernize my musical methods.

About the sig: No, it is absolutely not necessary at all, but whenever I try to set smaller dimensions, it erases the html code. I will seek an alternative method of shrinkage. Apologies all around.
