Author:       Kicko

Type:         mus/edit
Version:      1.05/1.06
Architecture: m68k-amigaos


This package is full with the actual program, some example short songs and
the control messages for the Roland JD800 synthesizer and the Access Virus
synthesizer. Also the sourcecode is attached (assembler)

Also the Homepage for T&F is in the package in the drawer Source/HTMLpage.
This can be used if you like to have it on your own internet space.

Here is a full version of Tracks&Fields v1.05. Also a beta version 1.06 of Nail
Cafferkeys changes. If your a coder please check all changes in his sources.
It's free for the amiga community and will stay free. This works only under
classic amiga as its hardcoded. Some hardware hitting have been removed
but still there are alot hardware dependencies. Program have not been
worked on for ages so i release the sources if anyone wants to continue
work on it.

I can recommend to use 1.05 as the Nails changes i dont know if it gives
problems as i never tested it. I went to amigaone and os4 and it doesnt
work there.

For full info please read the end of this text.

History:
______________________________________________________________________

1.06

 · Now uses camd.library for MIDI I/O (output only so far)

1.05

 · If the screen mode in the configuration cannot be opened when the
   program starts, it will ask for a screen mode to use.
 · Put back the titelbar. Now you can see the filename of the song again.

1.04

 · Used the 1.02 source instead
 · Ctrl F3-F5: cut-copy-paste only the column the cursor is on

1.03

 · Works on graphics cards - sadly the cursor looks wierd as a result.
 · Doesn't scroll several rows at a time when playing. This is good.
 · Removed writes to address 0 when config was loaded.
 · Minor spelling corrections.
 · Screen mode selection in config.
 · Scaling now autoselects the current position
 · About screen doesn't show up at program start

 Installation:

 Just copy the whole tracks&fields drawer somewhere on your Harddisk and assign TF: to it.
 The libraries are old so you can use newer if you have. Powerpacker is used for packing songs.
 Make a backup of your old config. I have not tested the latest screenmode feature.

So many years have gone and there is no trace of the original author.
He left amiga and made a pc version but i can't find it anywhere. 
Dick also leaved amiga so Jonas made the last updates for me.
But as he lacks of time he can't make more updates. Error (Thomas W) did make some 
changes and there is sourcecode to Nails changes as he tried to remove
the hardware hitting and make it more systemfriendly. There were lack of time too.

If anyone wants to continue on this project feel free to do it. I got the permission from
all the coders that worked on the source after Anders.

I had some ideas for future version that never been realised. You can read
the KickoWants.readme.
