Introduction to C64Player
-------------------------

	C64Player is a program simular to PlaySid, but plays the music on
	a C64 instead of the Amiga. Emulation of the 6581 Sidchip is getting
	better and better, but we don`t think it has got good enought. So
	we always use the C64 when we want to listen to good C64 music. But
	the idea of having all the music-files on the Amiga-harddisk instead
	of using C64 disk is great. This program combines those two tings:
	Start the program, use a requester to select your favorite tune, and
	the the music will be transfered to the C64 and replayed there.
	It it easy and fast to use. 


Some major disadvantages
------------------------

      -	The program work only with the first PlaySid-format: One file for
	the music-rouine and data, and one icon-file for information
	and addresses. (One-file-format not supported.)

      - Packer-formats are not supported.

      -	The replayer-routine can handle only music without samples. This is
	because we use interrupts for checking the parallell-port. But this 
	way be taken care of in a future verson.


System Requirements
-------------------

	This program requires the following:

      -	One Amiga computer with OS3.0 or above.
      -	One Commodore 64/128 computer.
      -	Parallell cable (archive includes cable-discription).
      -	Software on both computers.
