/*********************************************************/
The purpose of this program is simple:
It's late at night,
You've just uploaded a new song,
There is NO instrument list!
You spend the next hour flipping between disks to find the instruments!
Well no more friends, for with DMCSpect you can quickly find out just what
instruments your Deluxe Music Construction Set Song needs!
Enough of that, now to the reason that I wrote this readme:
We all know (2000 & 500 users) how fantastic the sound sounds (sic) when
we switch out that little filter in our Amigas. We also know what a pain
it is to install programs in all of our startup-sequences to switch the
filter out. We even know that with some copy-protected disks we can't
even do that!
So, I was in the shower thinking, (I think a lot in the shower, don't ask
why) 'It would be neat to have a memory resident program to toggle the
filter on and off!' Then I thought 'It would be even neater to make the
program survive reboot so that you could use it on almost all programs
without modifing a disk!' So the code was written, and it was good.
Now comes the trouble, the code to do this is by definition good code.
Now I not bragging, by good code I mean that it is easy to follow,
real easy, too easy....I see some of you have caught on! Yes my friends
my code makes a real nice tutor (with or without source) on how to make
a virus....Oh $hit!
So I don't know what to do! I could let my program out into the world
and have it become the little piece of information that started several
damgerous viruses, or I could let it out into the world any pray that
people only use it for good, or I could keep it to myself (Which I think
would suck!)
So I figure that the best way to put my conscience at ease would be to
let the Amiga Comunity decide by sending me suggestions. This would
let me know if:
Anyone really cared either way.
Any possiable solutions.
If anybody wanted the program in the first place.
So drop me a line at the following address, and we shall see my codes fate!

Thanks a lot! I never thought I would program myself into an ethical hole
but I did and would like a good way out!
