 <1> R.E.D. I N T R O D U C T I O N

         R.E.D. (Regal Embryo Dismemberment) is a group of metal musicians
or more likely it's like a distribution channel for metal musicians since
it won't put any restrictions to the members. They can join groups they want,
they can distribute their music in the way they want, but R.E.D. offers
them a way of distributing music world wide and very easily. All what member
must do is to send his/her tune to halogen@netti.fi or upload it to
ganknet.ml.org/gemini/ or upload it to Fidelity BBS. That's all. After that
when the new R.E.D. song is detected it will be uploaded to the main ftp
sites within 5 days from uploading (unless some troubles occur). However
there's one demand for members. R.E.D. will be making a music disk every
now and then (not very often though) and it would be very nice if at least
some members could contribute to it.
         If and when trouble occurs it will be reported on R.E.D. homepage
(address will be told later in this file). Also all other news and updates
will be told on R.E.D. homepage so take a look at there every now and then.
         R.E.D. was created to make tracked metal music more known in the
net and it will do everything to reach this goal. That means pretty much
continuous public relations work, advertising and making R.E.D. more easily
found from the net. If you feel yourself interested in this project then
please read on further and see the information about how to become a member.

         Send your tune to me. I will review it and decide if it's above
R.E.D. quality requirements. If it's not you will receive message where
it says something like "Out of tune" or "Bad samples" (yes remember that
even bad samples can be a reason to drop you out if they are *really* bad).
After this line you will be given a review final result of the song. Don't
worry if this happens you can try as many times as you want.
         If it passes you will also receive a message telling that it's
ok and goes forward appearing to R.E.D. homepage and distribution network.
Your name will be added to the R.E.D. member list and you will become part
of this metal trackers union. Remember that this is free and unrestricted
group that has no attempt to become closed thing like for example any
other music or demo group in the world.

         First of all. R.E.D. songs *must* be in one of the following
formats:

    MOD (almost any tracker supporting MOD), S3M (Scream Tracker),
    XM (Fast Tracker) or IT (Impulse Tracker)

         Second, you must pack it in a following way:

    Pack *must* be like this: red-xxxx.zip 
    where the "red" means R.E.D. release of course and
    xxxx is a four letters long description part where you can put
    your own song description (for example Infernal Lore music disk
    is packed as red-lore.zip). PkZIP is the only allowed packing
    method because Hornet archive uploading requires this.

         Third, you must add this file to the pack.

    This is very important to give information about R.E.D. to even
    bigger crowd. If your upload is missing red.nfo file it will be
    removed immediately.

         Fourth, include a file_id.diz file to the red-xxxx.zip pack.

    Pack missing this file will also be removed. File_id.diz file is
    important for the BBS distribution. We don't want to piss off
    all sysops by not putting file_id.diz to *every* release of ours.
    It don't have to be complicated or anything if there's just the
    name of the song and some common information about it.
    For example: ----------------------
                 R.E.D. presents:
                 "song name"
                 by: "your name"
                 XM (or whatever)
                 A melodic death metal
                 tune
                 ----------------------
    That wasn't difficult right? Remember to save file_id.diz files in
    pure ascii format. No ANSI colors or high ascii! All BBS systems
    don't support it.

         That's all. After you are sure you've done all this you can send
the pack to me by e-mail or on a disk by snail mail (put an unused stamp
in envelope if you wish to get your disk back) or upload the pack to
Fidelity BBS.

         R.E.D. will open more BBS links when I get done some deals with
sysops around the world. These link sites are listed here then.
