Important notice:
	Scream Tracker, and it's utilities playing music DON'T
	like working together with QEMM, 386MAX or other 386
	specific memory programs which use the VM86 mode. It's 
	best that you disable them when using Scream Tracker.
	
Another important notice:
	Do not rename ST.EXE. It must reside in the System directory
	in it's original condition!
	
Playing musics to cassette:
	To play many musics in batch mode, create a batch file which
	runs ST with followin commandline:
	ST <songname> /S
	make these rows for every music you want to play, and then
	run the batch file! ST does the rest (except presses REC on
	your tape recorder...)
	
Converting Amiga samples:
	Distributed with Screm Tracker there is CSAMP.EXE which
	will convert amiga samples (<64K) to ST samples. To convert
	for example NICESAMP type CSAMP NICESAMP.
	
Converting Voxkit samples:
	Distributed with Screm Tracker there is CSAMP.EXE which
	will convert voxkit samples (<64K) to ST samples. To convert
	for example NICESAMP type CSAMP NICESAMP. Remark that 
	Voxkit samples must be in unpacked 8 bit format!
	
The example song:
	The song (titled: SONG) is an example of different
	commands used in ST, and is NOT (as you will soon
	notice) a piece of great music. These will be availible
	elsewhere. It demostrates the use of nearly all commands
	availible, and is mainly meant for studying...
	
Program update/registeration and newer versions:
	This program and it's related utilites are supported
	in Silicon Dragon MBBS (+358-(9)21-500318). 
	In Silicon, general talk about Scream Tracker can
	be found in the Scream Tracker conference, and files
	suprisingly from Scream Tracker file-area.
	
Special mode:
	The ST can be started with two asterisks as a parameter (ST **)
	In this mode a special options menu is displayed, which can be used
	to verify the owner and for other task described in future.
	The first code question only affects running so called STP programs.
	More about them in the future too...
