Introduction
============

Quartet-2-SNDH is the sister program of SNDH-Ed and is a tool for music
files created with the Quartet digital composing software. It allows
the tunes to be saved as stand-alone SNDH music files which can be
played on a multitude of machines.

The SNDH format was conceived by BDC Cannibal of Aura.

SNDH files can be replayed on native Atari systems such as the ST and 
Falcon. They can also be heard on the PC and Mac using supported players,
see SNDH-Replayers section.

The resulting SNDH files have 3 specific replayers built-in. The file
automatically defaults to the most superior playback.

STFM - YM2149 player
STe  - 25khz 8 bit stereo
F030 - 50khz 16 bit stereo

====================
