- NORWAY
-
- And make payment to Norwegian Post Giro account no: 0824 0681472.
-
- If transferring the money to our Post Giro account is difficult, expensive or
- impossible from your country, you CAN send the money in cash to the address
- above. (No coins please).
-
- Note: AM/FM does not follow specific release dates. We find the release-date
- concept rather silly, because all magazines with specified dates are always
- delayed anyway, as we're sure AM/FM would also be. We will release a new
- issue whenever it's finished. However, one issue approximately every second
- month shouldn't be too far from the truth. If you should ever receive a
- faulty copy of the disk, we will of course replace it free of charge.

- INFO TO PD DISTRIBUTORS
-
-
- Your PD company is welcome to distribute AM/FM and AM/FM Sample Disks, but
- disks can only be sold with original AM/FM disk labels, which are available
- from AM/FM and cost £1 each. To obtain original AM/FM disk labels, send your
- order to the AM/FM address given above, and at the same time, transfer the
- appropriate amount to the Norwegian Post Giro account no.: 0824 0681472. The
- labels will be shipped as soon as we have received the order and a
- notification that the money has been transferred. At the same time, all
- previously released AM/FM disks will be sent to you. You will also be put on
- our mailing list and will automatically receive all future AM/FM releases as
- soon as they are ready for distribution.
-
- If you notice a PD company selling AM/FM without original AM/FM disk
- labels, please notify us immediately.

-
- WANT TO BE AN AM/FM CONTRIBUTOR?
-
-
- To be able to make the best out of this magazine, we need help, feedback and
- contributions from our readers - in other words - YOU. We will be delighted
- for any material, articles, reviews, tips, gossip, music, utilities etc. being
- sent to us. If we find your material suitable, it will be used for a future
- issue of AM/FM. Especially musicians are wanted, of course, if you are an
- Amiga composer, PLEASE send us some of your music, as we would LOVE to hear it.
-
- If you include a disk and a reply coupon (return postage) with your
- text/music/whatever, we will send you the next issue of AM/FM, regardless of
- whether your material is included in the magazine or not.
-
- Don't think that "they get so much mail, they will never even open mine" (which
- is the case with many magazines). We GUARANTEE that we will seriously review
- ALL material sent to us.
-
- If you wish to submit material for possible use on AM/FM, use the same address
- as stated above, under subscriptions.

- HOW TO FIND YOUR WAY AROUND THIS MAGAZINE
-
-
- The Sections
-
- There are 3 different "sections" in this magazine. Besides the magazine
- itself, there's the "Utilities section" and the "Music section". You can
- enter either of these from the magazine's Main Menu.
-
- From the Utilities section you will be able to run any of the programs
- featured on this issue of AM/FM, or read their documentation. You can of
- course also access the utilities from for example your workbench disk, by
- booting the workbench disk, opening a CLI or a Shell, and look in the
- "Utilities" directory of this disk.
-
- In the Music section you can play any of the Amiga-only songs featured on this
- issue of AM/FM, read a bit about the songs and the composers. You can also
- read about the MIDI music files on the disk.
-
- The Text Viewer
-
- The text displayer used for AM/FM is MuchMore_pp v2.5 by Fridtjof Siebert.
- There are many options, like print file, fast scrolling, searching for text
- etc. To get an overview of these functions, simply press your HELP key now.
-
-
- To Stop The Music
-
- If you have more than 512 kb memory in your Amiga, you will be given some
- background music while you read. (You're probably listening to it now). If
- you want to stop the music, simply press both mouse buttons simultaneously.
-
-
- To Change The Background Music
-
- If you want to hear another song than the default background music while you
- are reading, go to the Music section from the Main Menu, stop the song that's
- already playing by pressing both mouse buttons simulaneously, then pick
- another song from the music menu. Once it has loaded and decrunched, it will
- start playing, and you can go back to the magazine or the Utilities.
-
-
- Borrowing The Amiga-only Music
-
- If you feel like borrowing some of the music on this disk and use it for
- something else, the songs are all stored as mpowerpackedm (PowerPacker 3.0,
- copyright UGA software) ProTracker modules in the "music" directory on the
- disk. Most of the music will be in the form of ProTracker modules, but
- sometimes they will be in MED-module format or some other strange format. In
- case of difficulties, read the "About the music on this issue of AM/FM" text
- in the music section and see what it says about that particular song. Maybe
- it is created with a music editor you don't even have.
-
- If you are planning to use some of the music found on AM/FM for your own
- production, please remember to clearly include credits to the composer. None
- of the music found on any issue of AM/FM can be used for commercial purposes
- or in commercial programs or presentations without the composer being
- contacted and allows this! If you want to reach one of our musicians, feel
- free to contact him through AM/FM.
-
-
- Borrowing The Utilities
-
- If you want to copy some of the utilities to your own disk, they are all found
- in the "utilities" directory on the disk. (Well actually they are there even
- if you don't want to copy them, but never mind.) Feel free to put them where
- ever you want to, but remember to read the documentation files properly,
- because some of the programs require additional files found elsewhere on the
- disk, for instance in the libs: or c: directories.
-
-
- Borrowing The MIDI Music
-
- The .MIDI files, KCS files and Music-X performance files are all stored in the
- "midifiles" directory on this disk. Help yourself!
