| 25 | Introduction |
|---|
| 26 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|---|
| 27 | This is the release version of the first Atari XL/XE chip-music collection. |
|---|
| 28 | The outfit of the whole collection was inspired by the HVSC collection (with |
|---|
| 29 | some differences). I hope you'll like this collection. To get in touch with |
|---|
| 30 | me, see the "Contact" chapter. |

|---|
| 59 | Help! |
|---|
| 60 | ~~~~~ |
|---|
| 61 | As you can see, there are lots of tunes in the 'Unsorted' directory. If |
|---|
| 62 | you're 100% sure about origin of any of these tunes (Who did it, where does |
|---|
| 63 | it come from, when was it composed), please let us know immediately so that |
|---|
| 64 | we can complete the information about the tune in ASMA (and move it to the |
|---|
| 65 | right directory). We would welcome if you sent us also the binary file (or |
|---|
| 66 | an ATR/XFD disk image) with the original peace of software with that tune. |
|---|
| 67 | Mail any such information to pg@pinknet.cz. Our aim is to completely |
|---|
| 68 | annihilate the 'Unsorted' directory :-) |
|---|
| 69 | |
|---|
| 70 | |
|---|
| 71 | For contributors |
|---|
| 72 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|---|
| 73 | If you want to send me some tunes, they must be already converted to SAP |
|---|
| 74 | format and should include all the information needed (author, name, date, |
|---|
| 75 | number of songs). If you're unsure about any information needed, you can |
|---|
| 76 | send me the music as well, maybe we can find the info together. If you don't |
|---|
| 77 | know how to create SAP files, send me the binary file with the INIT and PLAY |
|---|
| 78 | addresses and memory location where the tune has to be loaded. See SAP.TXT |
|---|
| 79 | for SAP format description. The filenames must not be longer than 26 |
|---|
| 80 | characters (plus .sap) e.g.: |
|---|
| 81 | |
|---|
| 82 | 12345678901234567890123456.123 |
|---|
| 83 | Intel_Outside_Fractal_Part.sap - all right |
|---|
| 84 | Jocky_Wilsons_Darts_Challenge.sap - wrong! |
|---|
| 85 | |
|---|
| 86 | Because of compatibility reasons only characters 'A..Z', 'a..z', and '0..9' |
|---|
| 87 | can be used in the filenames. All spaces must be replaced with underscore |
|---|
| 88 | ("_"). The dash ("-") is also allowed but from no reason we don't use it :-) |
|---|
