This file contains important information,so please read it carefully before
doing anything else.
OctaMED is a music editor, which was originally designed for making music
for programs (demos, games etc..), but it works well as a stand-alone music
program, too.
OctaMED needs Kickstart 1.2 or later, is compatible with AmigaDOS 2.0, runs
on any Amiga from A500 to A3000, and multitasks correctly (even in
eight channel mode).
Here are the contents of the complete OctaMED distribution disk:
Demos (dir) A demo song
Docs (dir) Some documents
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

The icons were designed to have a nice 2.0-look. If you are using WB 1.x,
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 graphics files (Am-Nuts.gfxX) along with
it. These files contain some graphics data required by OctaMED, and they
must be in the current directory when you run OctaMED. If WB is used, just
make sure that OctaMED and the files are located in the same drawer. From
CLI/Shell, you have to 'CD' to the directory where all the files are before
starting OctaMED.
