- 1. Technical requirements-------------------------------------

  This program uses 128k memory,  it works from any disk drive &
  can also access the disk drive routines through #3d13 point.

  Use the "Turbo Sound"  device with a second AY  (made with the 
  NedoPC scheme) for best audio experience.  
  If you use the  "Unreal Emulator"  then you must turn on Turbo
  Sound emulation (Alt+F1 -> AY -> "T") & choose "AY" as   sound
  coprocessor and 
  
  If you don't have "Turbo Sound" device in your ZX Spectrum then
  you can hear the entries on an Ay-emulator for PCs 
  ("pc/music player.exe") and then manually enter your votes in 
  "voteform.txt".

  The following entries are "Turbo Sound" only:  "Cast the Love
  on Everyone", "To Stars", "Warm Harmony", "Class04 (Maktone)", 
  "Blow My Spirit" and "Now Trance!".

- 2. Stereo configuration---------------------------------------

  ABC stereo configuration is used by default. 
  To change it press : "1" - ABC, "2" - ACB, "3" - BAC.

- 3. Voting process---------------------------------------------

  Competition consists of 4 categories:  Original music,  Cover 
  music,  Experimental sound and Graphics. 
  You can see the categories below the   screen. When you choose
  one of them you will see a list of entries in the right or
  left part of the screen.

  To vote  for any of the entries  you need to click on its name
  and enter your vote (0 to 9).
					
- 4. Mouse controls---------------------------------------------

  Program automatically detecets the presence of a mouse. 

  To disable the mouse click on the button located on top/right
  of the screen.

  [G] to force mouse deactivation.
  
- 5. Saving and loading your vote-------------------------------

  You can save  your vote  at any  time,  just press  the "Save" 
  button which is located on the top middle  part of the screen.
  Before you save it you need to  enter some data  (name, group, 
  city,  etc.).  A  file  "voteform.t"  will  be  generated  or 
  overwritten (if it already exists) with your vote data.
  
  ATTENTION: Save no work on TAP verison.

- 6. Disk operations -------------------------------------------

  ATTENTION: disk operation errors are not processed.  Please be
  careful and check that disk "write protection" is removed.

  Also  the  disk must contain 10 sectors of free space and less
  than 128 files. In other way save process will fail.
 
- 7. Tape operations -------------------------------------------

  ATTENTION: Use "USR 0" on ZX Spectrum +2A and +3.
 
- 8. Work with the emulator ------------------------------------

  If you're using an emulator, please don't forget to keep a TRD
  or  SCL  image  file  after voteform saving in AtoyForm and to
  extract  voteform  file  from  image.  You  can  do  this with
  Spectrum Navigator or special plugins for your file commander.
