Wednesday, August 28, 1991 08:25 AM PDT This shar contains the file MIRAGEFREQ.SDA. This file MUST be run on a Commodore 64; it is a self dissolving archive (if using a C-128, it MUST be in C-64 mode for the SDA to work. This means that you need to find a method of getting the file from where it is now to your C-64 (or C-128 in C-64 mode). I recommend kermit as this is generally available but xmodem or any other file transfer protocol that you have on both systems should work. NOTE: the file type on the C-64 MUST be "P" (program) and not "S" (sequential). Kermit users should see the file kermit.notes for some helpful hints on transferring files that way. Note that whatever transfer protocol you use, make sure you use an eight bit transfer. Once the SDA file is on your C-64, simply load and run it with a disk in drive 8. It will present a greeting screen and will dissolve itself into the component files. The greeting screen will tell you what to do from there. The resulting program will run on either a C-64 or C-128, taking advantage of the features of the 128 where possible (namely 80 column mode and fast mode). Included in the SDA file is a program named MOREINFO which gives more in-depth help and a short tutorial on sampling with the Mirage. This program is free. This means you can use it as much as you like and you can give it out to your friends (or enemies if you don't like it). All I ask is that you give it out with the documentation that is included. Giving out the SDA is the best and easiest way to do that (or the shar file if on a un*x or similar system).

I've considered making other interesting utilities available based on the feedback I get. -Johnny Klonaris San Jose, Ca
