ASAP2WAV is a converter of Atari 8-bit music for modern computers.
It provides high-quality, identical to the popular Atari800 emulator,
emulation of the POKEY sound chip and the 6502 processor.

This release includes the following programs that use the ASAP engine:
* ASAP2WAV - portable command-line utility that generates WAV files

Currently supported input formats are:
* SAP (Slight Atari Player - standard file format for playing Atari 8-bit
  music on modern computers, samples are not supported yet)
* CMC (Chaos Music Composer)
* CMR (CMC Rzog - CMC with modified bass sounds)
* DMC (DoublePlay CMC - CMC with 6502 routines executed at double rate
  of the original CMC)
* MPT (Music ProTracker - without samples)
* MPD (MPT DoublePlay - MPT with 6502 routines executed at double rate
  of the original MPT)
* RMT (Raster Music Tracker)
* TMC (Theta Music Composer 1.x - 4-channel music)
* TM8 (Theta Music Composer 1.x - 8-channel music)
* TM2 (Theta Music Composer 2.x)

The biggest collection of SAP files is ASMA (Atari SAP Music Archive,
http://asma.atari.org). It is strongly recommended that you use ASMA 3.0
or newer. 226 files in ASMA 3.0 contain samples, the remaining 1780 can be
used with the current version of ASAP.

If you are interested in the ASAP project, please subscribe its mailing list:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/asap-users
As in the Atari800 project, this is a combined list for end users
and for developers. Once you subscribe, you can post comments, ideas
and questions about ASAP. They will be answered ASAP. ;-)

If, for some reason, you do not want to subscribe the mailing list,
but have a bug report, feature request or a small code patch, you can use
the sf.net tracker. Use "Bugs", "Feature Requests" or "Patches" link
on this page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/asap/
Although you may submit your requests anonymously, it is strongly recommended
that you login to sf.net first (create an account if necessary). This way you
will receive email notifications about changes made to your request, and you
can be reached if your request needs a clarification. Please double-check
the TODO file before reporting a supposed bug (which may be really lack
of a feature) or submitting a feature request. Patches submitted
via the request tracker must be small and created against the current
development code stored in CVS.
