This program is the first application which
I have written which I feel should release into
the public domain.   

I have created a NeXT front end for Michael Schwendt's
SID emulator engine which I also ported to OPENSTEP.
This program is in the experimental stages right now
and does not currently have all of the features
I wish to give it.  It is, however, in a usable
state and I want to give all of the people out there
who used to own Commodore-64's something neat 
to play with. 

The SidPlay homepage is at:

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/5147/index.html

You should be able to find a copy of this program,
as well as links to other sites that contain sid files.
The best of these links is the "High Voltage SID
Collection" which is located at:

At any rate I hope you enjoy this program, and please 
email me at gcasamen@erols.com if you want the source
to the program, or if you have any questions or 
comments.

Thanks,

Archiver: Please place this in the audio/music directory
	  as appropriate.

P.S. Please note that this application is still a work
     in progress.  It is something I put together in
     my not-so-copious free time.  BTW, if you have any free
     time you don't need send it to me and I will put
     it to good use! ;)

Above is the README I sent with the first release.  This
release is a minor bug patch.  When I wrote 1.0 I set the
buffer size to 2MB.  This was a bit big and will cause the
computer to start swapping unecessarily.  I reduced the
size of the buffer in this version to approximately 20K
which seems to work for me.  You may need to do some tuning
on your machine.
