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

57 Help!
58 ~~~~~
59 As you can see, there are lots of tunes in the 'Unsorted' directory. If
60 you're 100%ly sure about origin of any of these tunes (Who did it, where
61 does it come from, when was it composed), please let us know immediately
62 so that we can complete the information about the tune in ASMA (and move it
63 to the right directory). We would welcome if you sent us also the binary
64 file (or an ATR/XFD disk image) with the original peace of software with
65 that tune. Mail any such information to pg@pinknet.cz. Our aim is to
66 completely annihilate the 'Unsorted' directory :-)

69 For contributors
70 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
71 If you want to send me some tunes, they must be already converted to SAP
72 format and should include all the information needed (author, name, date,
73 number of songs). If you're unsure about any information needed, you can
74 send me the music as well, maybe we can find the info together. If you don't
75 know how to create SAP files, send me the binary file with the INIT and PLAY
76 addresses and memory location where the tune has to be loaded. See SAP.TXT
77 for SAP format description. The filenames must not be longer than 26
78 characters (plus .sap) e.g.:
79
80 12345678901234567890123456.123
81 Intel_Outside_Fractal_Part.sap - all right
82 Jocky_Wilsons_Darts_Challenge.sap - wrong!
83
84 Because of compatibility reasons only characters 'A..Z', 'a..z', and '0..9'
85 can be used in the filenames. All spaces must be replaced with underscore
86 ("_"). The dash ("-") is also allowed but from no reason we don't use it :-)

93 Adam Bienias (SoTe of Slight) - ripped over 55% of the tunes

97                            emulated tunes? ;-)
98 Jindrich Kubec - ripped some tunes as well :)
99 Radek Sterba (RASTER) - sent most of his tunes. Thanx! If only every
