Introduction / History :
------------------------

  Nothing really particular about this music. It was composed in 1988
  and is one of the only made by Wally Beben on Amiga (a famous C64
  composer).
  It mas ripped from the game Elite.


Replay code :
-------------

  The replay code was awful !! Not only is it slow (up to 32 raster lines
  on A500), but it's also very badly coded (even contained some bugs).
  Well, it seems the author of the replay code didn't fully understand
  the 68000 adressing modes. One of the bug caused the replay to play
  sample from the memory location $0 !!

  So, I've optimised a few things (branches, .L replaced by .W, ...) and
  added support for Delitracker/Eagleplayer functions.
  It was tested on an Amiga 500 + more mem + HD, and worked fine with
  EaglePlayer 1.54c and DeliTracker 2.21.

  Since the replay is nearly exactly the same as HammerFist (CUSTHammerFist.lha),
  I only had to change a few bytes/lines to my HammerFist Eagleplayer's
  port to support Elite's patterns and samples.

  Sources are provided, if you want to see how to adapt custom modules
  (compiled with Devpac, but should work on any asm after removing Devpac
  specific directives).

  To compile the source, you will need the file 'misc/deliplayer.i' and
  'misc/eagleplayer.i' in your standard 'include:' path.
  You will also have to change the 'incbin' paths in the source, or to create
  a 'b:' assign.

  By the way, comments are half english, half french, so this might be a
  good opportunity to learn a few words of french :-)

  Note that the analyzer support is not as perfect as possible, because the
  replay changed the Audio Per every VBL, which interfered with the way
  UserPrograms work under EaglePlayer (the UPS structure need some improvements).
