FILES on the PIANOMAN DISK
==========================
PIANOMAN.EXE  PIANOMAN music creation and editing program
PLAYRPNO.EXE  PLAYER PIANO music compiler and utility program
PINST.EXE     Installation program for the above
PIANOMAN.DOC  Documentation for the above

FILES in the "TUNES" directory
==============================
A sampling of tunes created with PIANOMAN.  Some are MUZ files
that you can load into PIANOMAN and play or modify.  Others are
COM files -- these are standalone programs created by PLAYER
PIANO.  When you register PIANOMAN by sending the $25 registration
fee, you get a copy of the latest version AND another disk of tunes.

FILES in the "SPKR" directory
=============================
These files are copyrighted by Cove Software, and are included here
with permission.  SPKR.DOC explains the workings of SPKR.SYS, and
TRAPEZE.SPK is a sample input file for the SPKR device.  When you
install SPKR.SYS in your computer, you can play "background" music
by writing special commands to the "SPK" device, just as you can
write to "PRN" or "LPT1".  An option in PLAYER PIANO converts _short_
PIANOMAN tunes (128 notes or less) into input files for the SPK device.

FILES in the "TP4" directory
============================
These files are for programmers who want to incorporate MUZ files into
their programs.  They're written in Turbo Pascal version 4.0.  If you
program in another language, I hope the Pascal code is clear enough
that you can easily translate it.  The file structure is the most
important thing, and I think that will be clear from the code.
