-
- Welcome to use MED V3.21. First I should note that this file contains some
- important information, so please read this file carefully before doing
- anything else.
-
- MED is an all-purpose music editor which can be used to make music for
- programs (games, demos...), but works well as a stand-alone music program,
- too.
-
- Here are the contents of the complete MED distribution disk:
-
- Demos (dir) Some demo songs (try these first)
- Docs (dir) Documents (remember to read)
- Synthsounds (dir) Some synthetic sounds
- Programmers (dir) Stuff for programmers
- PlayerLibrary (dir) medplayer.library stuff
- MODPlayer (dir) linked module player/loader stuff
- Examples (dir) some examples in Assembler & C
- MED The music editor
- MEDPlayer The player program
- Read Me This file...
- ReadMe.OctaMED Another file to read.
-
- If you start using MED frequently, you should make a backup copy of your
- MED disk, and save the original in the safe place. You can also install
- MED on hard disk. Just remember to copy 'MED.gfx1' into the same
- directory. It is a data file required by MED during startup.
-
- The icons on the MED disk were designed for WB 2.0 colors, so they may look
- "inversed" on 1.x.

- Although MED is not really shareware, I would be happy to get any kind of
- donations (money, candy, or anything else), as I have done lots of work for
- MED. If you don't want to send me anything, please at least consider
- buying OctaMED (you'll get some nice features with it, AND you'll also
- support the author...)
-
- V3.2 is probably the LAST freely distributable release of MED (excluding
- bug fix releases). From now on I'll be developing only OctaMED.
- (Look out for OctaMED Professional (distributed by Amiganuts United), will
- be released on Spring 1992!!)
