- General information:-
- ---------------------
-
- This software was written using ACE basic compiler and is in its
- initial release. Future versions will incorporate NTSC and hopefully
- SECAM scanning facilities plus stereo tone generation for stereo
- monitors. There is an ~IBM~ PC version that is freeware and has had
- extensive testing and uses video modes 0 to 6. This is also supplied.
-
- See the ~TESTINFO~ text file for further information on how to use
- this program.
-
-
- Now the legal stuff.

- Testing evaluation.
- -------------------
-
- This was tested on an A500 with various memory configurations,
- the same A500 switched to 1MB Chip Ram and emulating WB2 using
- the A500+ emulator, an A600 with various memory configurations,
- and last but not least an A1200 with various memory configurations.
- It has NOT been tested on machines with accelerator boards.

-
- Future developements.
- ---------------------
-
- It is hoped that if there is enough interest I will develope the AMIGA
- family of computers into a serious piece of test gear for the workshop.
- This includes a Stereo LF Function Generator, a Multi-Meter, an RF Signal
- Generator, a Panoramic Adaptor, a Frequency Counter, etc.. etc.. all in
- one unit.
