Replacer for Buzz Song File

What's bm2bm

"bm2bm" is a tool which searches and replaces Machine name described inside "Buzz" song file (extension *.bmw, *.bmw).

Background

When it is going to download and listen to Buzz song, do you have experience in which it has not loaded to Buzz? A reason is that Machine which had named using the character which is not recognized in your Windows environment which you use is not loaded to starting of Buzz. Ex.: it is Machine called "ArgElles TB3003.dll" etc...

One of the methods for solving this problem is the following.
(1)DLL file (plug-in file) which cannot recognize in [Buzz]-[Gear]-[Generators] and [Effects] is changed into the name which can be recognized in your Windows environment. Ex.: "ArgElles TB3003.dll" -> "Arguelles TB3003.dll"
(2)Machine name which does not recognize in the index.txt file of [Buzz]-[Gear] which has described Machine name is changed into the name changed by (1).
(3)The part which has described Machine name inside Buzz song file which has not been loaded is directly changed into the name changed by (1) by the Binary-Editor etc.

It can load now!!

But, it is troublesome to work this whenever it cannot load Buzz song. I thought.
(1) Register Machine name which cannot be recognized, and Machine name which can be recognized.
(2) Search Machine name which cannot recognize in Buzz file.
(3) If there is a Machine name which cannot be recognized, it will replace by Machine name which can be recognized.
It is convenient if there is such a tool. I made "bm2bm" from the reason. "bm2bm" can also be returned to the file of the origin with Machine name of the name which cannot recognize the file which replaced Machine name.

Install

(1)This program was created using VisualBasic6.0. Therefore, VB run time needs to be installed. Please install, when VB run time is not installed. The user of Windows 98 SE may be unnecessary.
(2)The following file is in zip file.
bm2bm.exe -- Main program.
machine.txt -- The file which described Machine name searched and replaced.
readme.txt -- This file.
Please create a folder after Unzip and put in all files into the folder.
Please put bm2bm.exe and machine.txt into the surely same folder.
bm2bm replaces by reference by this description of machine.txt.

Uninstall

This program does not change a registry. Therefore, please all delete the file put in with the folder created at the time of installation.

Preparation

(1) - (2) explained by [Background] is performed. It changes with reference to attached "machine.txt." I recommend to backup of the original file and index.txt before change.
If "machine.txt" is opened by the text editor, there is an item of "/before" and "/after." The name below "/before" is Machine name with the character which is known now and which cannot be recognized.
The name below "/after" is Machine name which was described corresponding to upper "/before" and which was changed so that it could read in every Windows environment. It has described, making it correspond in an order from a top.
For example, the top
"/before" -> "ArgElles Pro2"
"/after" -> "Arguelles Pro2"
It corresponds.
This is referred to The name of DLL file of folder [Buzz]-[Gear]-[Generators] and [Effects] The name of Machine in the index.txt file of folder [Buzz]-[Gear] Please change these into the name below "/after."

Please be sure to change the portion of the character which is not recognized using a 1 byte character.
Please make the same the number of characters of Machine name which corresponds by "/before" and "/after."
