- ****************************************************************************
-
- This is an obsolete version of the OctaMED music editor, now released into
- free distribution. The latest commercial version of OctaMED is V4.0,
- of which wholesale distribution is handled by RBF Software.
-
- It goes without saying realy that the latest OctaMED V4 has had so many
- alterations that if you intend purchasing this version you are advised
- to also obtain the manual as well. (see price details further on).
-
- OctaMED 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. OctaMED V2.0 is the "big brother" of MED V3.20 music editor.
-
- OctaMED V2.0 needs Kickstart 1.2 or later, is compatible with AmigaDOS 2.0,
- runs on any Amiga, and multitasks correctly (even in 8-channel mode).
-
- Here are the contents of the complete OctaMED distribution disk:
-
- Demos (dir) A demo song (try it first)
- Docs (dir) Documents
- SynthSounds(dir) Some synthetic sounds
- Programmers (dir) Stuff for programmers
- PlayerLibraries (dir) shared player libraries
- MODPlayer (dir) linked module player/loader stuff
- Examples (dir) some examples in Assembler & C
- OctaMED The music editor
- OctaMEDPlayer The player program
- Read Me This file..
-
- The icons were designed to look nice under V2.0 of Workbench. If you are
- using WB 1.x (as most people still are), the icon colours look "inversed".
-
- First you should make a backup copy of your original OctaMED disk, and save
- the original in safe place. If you want to install OctaMED on a hard disk,
- you have to remember to copy the file "OctaMED.gfx1" along with it. This
- file contains some graphics data required by OctaMED. It must be in the
- current directory when you run OctaMED. If WB is used, just make sure that
- OctaMED and OctaMED.gfx1 are located in the same drawer. From CLI/Shell,
- you have to 'CD' to the directory where the both files are before starting
- OctaMED.
-
- And now, very important text is coming. Don't close your eyes :^) !!!!!
