- +==========================================================================+
-
- Welcome to use MED V3.00. First I should note that this file contains
- some important information, so please read this file carefully before
- doing anything else.
-
- MED is a music editor, which is originally designed for making music
- for programs (demos, games etc..), but it works well as a stand-alone
- music program too. MED was originally a SoundTracker-clone, but I have
- added much features that SoundTracker/NoiseTracker has never heard about...
-
- Here are the contents of the complete MED V3.00 distribution disk:
-
- Demos (dir) Some demo songs (try these first)
- Docs (dir) Documents (remember to read)
- Samples (dir) Some samples to help you get started
- (these are the same samples that were included
- with MED V2.1x)
- SynthSounds(dir) Some synthetic sounds
- Programmers (dir) Stuff for programmers
- MEDPlayerLibrary (dir) medplayer.library stuff
- MODPlayer (dir) linked module player/loader stuff
- Examples (dir) some examples in Assembler & C
- MED3.00 The music editor
- MEDPlayer The player program
- Read Me This file (please contact me if this file
- is missing :^) (bad joke... :^(
-
- If you're (still?) using AmigaDOS 1.3 (or before), the icons look quite
- ugly. Anyway, they look nice on 2.0.
-
- If you begin to start using the program, you should make a working copy of
- the disk. Then you can delete the sources etc. to free space for your songs
- (or just format a disk and copy MED there).
-
- There are no music editor source codes this time, but those who are interested
- can contact me.
-
- And now, very important text is coming. Don't close your eyes :-) !!!!!

- I'm sorry to write this, but I may not be able to answer all letters any
- more. After V2.10 I've started to receive so much mail, that I simply have
- not enough time to do that. Still, I try to answer to as many as possible.
- If you absolutely want me to answer, please indicate that. Also, if you don't
- need an answer, please indicate that too. Anyway, please prepare yourself for
- long response times...

- ==============================================================================
- Finally some technical info:
-
- MED is written in C and assembler. The C compiler used is SAS/C V5.10 and
- the assembler is now HiSoft's Devpac 2. The graphics was drawn using
- DeluxePaint III and converted using the ILBMDUMP-utility. The text editor
- I'm using now is the magnificent (no, ASDG has not paid anything to me :-),
- it's my personal opinion!!) CygnusEd Professional 2.
- MED V3.00 needs Kickstart 1.2 or later, is compatible with AmigaDOS 2.0,
- runs on any Amiga (including my new Amiga 3000...), and (unlike any
- NoiseTracker/SoundTracker/ProTracker/StarTrekker): MULTITASKS CORRECTLY!!!
-
- More finally, thanks to the following persons:
-
- Ray Burt-Frost (Amiganuts United) and Dean Murray for Devpac 2 (no, not a
- pirated version, for members of F.A.S.T. who read this!!) and
- everything else (disks...).
- Lauri Tarkkala for great number of suggestions and sending me disks.
- Frederic Bouquerel for drawing the new graphics that is now used in the
- title bar.
- Bryan Ross for the disks, letters etc..
- Martyn Brown for the excellent Newsflash disk-magazine.
- Marc Jackisch for the new MEDPlayer icon.
-
- Thanks a lot to all you who have sent me letters, disks, money, etc.
- your support has been irreplaceable!!!
