               PROTRACKER ST v2.0s (shareware release)
              by Karl Anders ygard and Hans-Arild Runde

         Copyright  1993, Clever Bits. All rights reserved.

This  program may be distributed without charge,  provided  that  this

-- Overview ----------------------------------------------------------

ProTracker  ST  v2.0s is a music program written for the  Atari  ST/TT 
series.  It is based on the infamous tracker concept, first introduced 
by Karsten Obarski in 1986.  It is a highly flexible system,  allowing 
for up to four separate channels of samples,  digital reproductions of 
real instruments,  each with separate volume and pitch.  ProTracker ST 
turns your ST into a fully capable sample synthesizer!

-- Requirements ------------------------------------------------------

ProTracker runs on any Atari ST(E)/TT computer.  It will not run quite 
perfectly on a Falcon, yet, but as soon as we get our hands on one, we 
will fix that. ProTracker *does*, however, require a colour monitor.

-- Usage -------------------------------------------------------------

Beginners  will  want  to  read  the  documentation  that  comes  with 
ProTracker to get a grip on the basics of using and making music  with 
ProTracker.  The documentation includes the first two chapters of  the 
full documentation of ProTracker. The full documentation of ProTracker 
is a full 130 kilobytes,  and covers all aspects of ProTracker ST in 9 
chapters and appendices.

-- Shareware! --------------------------------------------------------

ProTracker  ST  is shareware.  If you use  this  program,  you  should 
register.  Registering will cost you a measly 8 pounds, and will bring 
you the full version of ProTracker ST, a more than 50 page manual, and 
sources to replay songs created with ProTracker in your own programs.
 
Unless  you  have  an entire family to feed,  your  visa  account  has 
mysteriosly  been  overdrawn 10,000 pounds and your  grandmother  just 
broke a leg,  we expect you to register. We have put a *lot* of effort 
into  this  program,  and  hope  you all will  show  your  support  by 
registering.  Less able programs are selling for rediculous 50  pounds 
in the commercial market. Show your support for shareware authors!
