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" section of this document.

62 Help!
63 ~~~~~
64 As you can see, there are lots of tunes in the 'Unsorted' directory. If
65 you're 100% sure about origin of any of these tunes (Who did it, where does
66 it come from, when was it composed), please let us know immediately so that
67 we can complete the information about the tune in ASMA (and move it to the
68 appropriate directory). We would welcome if you sent us also the binary file
69 (or an ATR/XFD disk image) with the original piece of software with that
70 tune. Mail any such information to pg@dspaudio.com. Our aim is to completely
71 annihilate the unrecognized tunes.

74 For contributors
75 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
76 If you want to send me some tunes, they should be already converted to SAP
77 format and should include all the information needed (author, name, date,
78 number of songs). If you're unsure about any information needed, you can
79 send me the music as well, maybe we can find the info together. If you don't
80 know how to create SAP files, send me the binary file with the INIT and PLAY
81 addresses and memory location where the tune has to be loaded. See Sap.txt
82 for SAP format description. The filenames must not be longer than 26
83 characters (plus .sap) e.g.:
84
85 12345678901234567890123456.123
86 Intel_Outside_Fractal_Part.sap - all right
87 Jocky_Wilsons_Darts_Compendium.sap - wrong!
88
89 Because of compatibility reasons only characters 'A..Z', 'a..z', and '0..9'
90 can be used in the filenames. All spaces must be replaced with underscore
91 ("_"). The dash ("-") is also allowed but from no reason we don't use it :-)
