Welcome to use MED V3.20.  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.

And now, very important text is coming. Don't close your eyes :^) !!!!!

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.

I'm  sorry,  but  I  may  not  be  able  to answer all letters I get.  I've
received  a  great  amount  of  mail (thanks to everyone!!), but my time is
unfortunately  so  limited  that  I  don't  have  lots of time to write the
answers.  Anyway, even if I answer, the response time may be rather long...

                     boot from the distribution disk (check for viruses
                     first...)). Also the big MED-logo that's always
                     displayed during booting is drawn by him.

Steve Hayes        - the Electronic Arts' public domain IFF-loader (as found
                     on Fred Fish disk #64).

Frederic Bouquerel - the MED-logo on the title bar.
