AMR: Prefix-Codes

     The (usually) three-letter prefix-code establishes the point of origin 
for a family of files. The following master list contains all current AMR 
prefix-codes and the names of their given topics (T=) or subjects (S=). 
Prefix Criteria: The first three letters of the composer's or topic's 
name, or another convenient combination - (Harris = HAR, Harrison = HAS).  
Special filename tactics are also used for families, see the Seegers, 
below. Since the AMR collection is constantly growing, certain topics 
may wind up having to be divided as the homepage gets too fat. Sub-
topics (ST) are listed below in several categories.
