     2. About Orpheus

        The IMAGO Orpheus Music Editor is under development since over
        4 years. Originally  we  intended to produce a public tool for
        creating   soundtracks   for  computer  games  and  multimedia
        presentations,  but  due to commercial reasons we are not able
        to  release  the current Version 1.50. Since many people asked
        for  a release we decided to release an old prototype version.
        This one lacks in many functions, but the basic user interface
        is working fine.
        In Version 1.00 the program can read MOD, S3M, XM, PTM and IMF
        (IMAGO  Music  Files,  Version  1.0) files. You can store your
        music in IMF, MOD and S3M format. Many popular soundcards will
        be supported.


     3. Requirements

        The  hardware  requirements  are a IBM 386 compatible computer
        with  an VGA graphics adapter. You should also have some sound
        device  installed.  Sound  Blaster,  Sound  Blaster Pro, Sound
        Blaster  16,  Sound Blaster AWE32, Pro Audio Spectrum, Windows
        Sound  System  and Gravis Ultrasound will be supported, but it
        is  recommended  to  use  a  Sound Blaster AWE32 with at least
        2 MB DRAM. Furthermore  you  need  an  Expanded Memory Manager
        like EMM386. At least 128 EMM-handles should be available.
        You can add the following lines to your CONFIG.SYS file:

        DEVICE=[PATH]\HIMEM.SYS
        DEVICE=[PATH]\EMM386.SYS RAM H=255

        The programm runs fine under DOS and Windows 95/98. If you get
        trouble  with  the  Windows  environment try to deinstall your
        sounddevice driver.
