| 4 | If you want to send me some tunes, they should be already converted to SAP
|
|---|
| 5 | format and should include all the information needed (author, name, date,
|
|---|
| 6 | number of songs). If you're unsure about any information needed, you can
|
|---|
| 7 | send me the music as well, maybe we can find the info together. If you don't
|
|---|
| 8 | know how to create SAP files, send me the binary file with the INIT and PLAY
|
|---|
| 9 | addresses and memory location where the tune has to be loaded. See Sap.txt
|
|---|
| 10 | for SAP format description.

|
|---|
| 36 | STIL information
|
|---|
| 37 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|---|
| 38 | This information is not essential but if you know anything of these, please

| 39 | send it together with the song.
|
|---|
| 40 | - Name of covered song (plus album)
|
|---|
| 41 | - Name of the interpreter (singer, band) or composer

| 43 | party (including year) and the final standing of the song (only for songs
|
|---|
| 44 | that ended at 1st, 2nd or 3rd place).
|
|---|
| 45 | Again you can write all this information into a separate text file.

|

| 55 | SAP header conventions
|
|---|
| 56 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|---|
| 57 | The filenames must not be longer than 26 characters (plus .sap) e.g.:
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | 12345678901234567890123456.123
|
|---|
| 60 | Intel_Outside_Fractal_Part.sap - all right
|
|---|
| 61 | Jocky_Wilsons_Darts_Compendium.sap - wrong!
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | Because of compatibility reasons only characters 'A..Z', 'a..z', and '0..9'
|
|---|
| 64 | can be used in the filenames. All spaces must be replaced with underscore
|
|---|
| 65 | ("_"). The dash ("-") is also allowed but from no reason we don't use it :-)
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | All tags in SAP header must be UPPERCASE (e.g. AUTHOR, DATE). The field
|
|---|
| 68 | contents must be closed in quotation marks ("). There is one SPACE ( )
|
|---|
| 69 | between the tag and the quotation mark.
|
|---|
| 70 | Every line in the header must end with EOL ($0d $0a).
|
|---|
| 71 | For unknown information use this mark <?>.
|
|---|
| 72 | For more information about the SAP header see the file Sap.txt.
|
|---|
| 73 | Example:
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 | SAP
|
|---|
| 76 | AUTHOR "Marek Badkowski (Bac)"
|
|---|
| 77 | NAME "Deafman"
|
|---|
| 78 | DATE "<?>"
|
|---|
| 79 | TYPE B
|
|---|
| 80 | INIT 0500
|
|---|
| 81 | PLAYER F092
|
|---|
| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | If possible, send also the original file/game/demo that you ripped the
|
|---|
| 84 | song(s) from.
|
|---|
