Notes about Skale public beta 0.801
--------------------------------------
This version has been released to fix an important random crash in the 0.80
version.
Have a look to the News.txt file to see the new features and resolved bugs.
Actually some features are buggy and I prefer to disable them, for example:
- Instrument vibrato is disabled.
- Masking cut&paste is disabled.
- Some VST plugins could crash the program. Be careful, test
them before to use them.
- Other ones...
You can copy the keyb.cfg file from an older skale version to the actual skale
directory if you want to use your old keyboard shortcuts.
By now I've no time to write any documentation;( If you need help try the
www.skale.org forums where you can ask your questions to other skale users).

---------
Windows
---------
Be sure you've DirectX 7.0 installed (or a better version).
Use the Config Utility to create the config files (Skale.cfg and Keyb.cfg)
The main config file (Skale.cfg) can be edited manually too. The Keyboard
shortcuts file actually is binary (in the future it will be ASCII).
After it run the Skale.exe file and enjoy it!!
-----------
Linux x86
-----------
The configuration file under Linux is SkaleLinux.cfg. Modify manually if needed
(sorry, no time to build a Linux config file editor). The keys shortcuts are saved
into a binary file called KeybLinux.cfg (I'll change as soon as I can to ASCII).
The program has been compiled under RedHat 9.0 (Skale.x86). Tell me if
you've some problem under another distribution.
Under Linux, Skale needs the SDL library installed to run.
Thanks to ccm (hi linux master!) for his support.
-----------
Macintosh
-----------
By now I've not access to a Macintosh so there's not a MAC version.
