The song "Chasing the Future" was written using the Gravis Ultrasound and 
a Roland D-70 synthesizer then converted so that only a Gravis Ultrasound 
would be needed to play the song.

The following steps need to be taken in order to hear this song:

1. Unzip the archive into a directory. 
3. Make sure that chase.cfg and chase.mid exist in present directory.
4. Make sure that playmidi.exe is in one of the directories in your path.
5. Type "playmidi chase"
6. Sit back and enjoy.

IF you have WINDOWS 3.1 then copy the included ultrasnd.ini file 
and all *.pat files to your ULTRASND directory, then run windows and use 
any MIDI player such as Media Player, or Cakewalk to play back "Chasing 
the Future".  It sounds much better using Windows 3.1 than PLAYMIDI.  
REMEMBER make a backup of your original ultrasnd.ini BEFORE you copy the 
ultrasnd.ini that came with this archive into your ULTRASND directory.

If you want to erase the patches that came with this archive from your
Ultrasound Patch directory, then just rename the file clean.txt to clean.bat,
copy clean.bat it into your Patch directory.  Then change directory to your
Ultrasound Patch directory and type "clean".
