Type:     mus/edit
Architecture: m68k-amigaos
Version: 3.1.5


[3rd upload]  Replaced asap-sdl with asap-ao by me using libao/PAS.

              Rebuilt the asap root directory for a minimum CPU of 68020.


[2nd upload]  Added the "fpu" directory.


ASAP is a player of 8-bit Atari music for modern computers. It emulates the
POKEY sound chip and the 6502 processor. The project was initially based on
the routines from the Atari800 emulator, but the current version has a
completely new original emulation core.
