- CHORD v1.0
- ----------
-
- This is a Psion 3a chord-finding application, for stringed instruments.
-
- This package should contain the following files:
-
- chord10.opa The chord finder application.
- chdbook.odb The database of 'book' chords.
- chdguess.odb The database of chord spellings.
- chdhelp.rsc The on-line help file.
- chdhelp.txt Plain text version of help.
- readme.txt This file.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Copy:
-
- chord10.opa to any \app\ directory.
- chdbook.odb, chdguess.odb and chdhelp.rsc to any \app\chord\ directory.
-
- Install the program by pressing Psion-I at the Psion system screen and
- then selecting Chord10.opa.
-
- If you do not want on-line help you do not need to copy chdhelp.rsc.
-
- If you do not play a guitar with standard EBGDAE tuning, then you
- don't need to copy chdbook.odb (the program will run without access
- to the 'book' mode - see later).
-
- The program creates two files on the internal drive of your Psion:
-
- \opd\chord.ini Contains setup details.
- \chd\chord.chd The default file for saving your chords. Any new
- files you create are saved, by default, in this
- \chd\ directory.
-
- NOTE: it would be unwise to save chd files to a flash SSD, as the
- program appends changes to the file (like Data and Agenda). On
- a flash SSD this space would not be recovered, and the files
- would eat up disk space. On a RAM pack, or on the internal drive,
- the files are compressed automatically when they are saved.
-
-
- How Does It Work?
- -----------------
-
- At its simplest, press the space bar, then type in the chord name,
- e.g. Cm7. The chord will be displayed with relevant details. Then
- press the space bar again to find another inversion, or press the
- enter key to store the chord in one of the ten chord boxes.
-
- See the file chdhelp.txt for a full manual. This is also available
- from within the program via the help key.
-
-
- Registration
- ------------
-
- Chord is shareware, not free software. If you continue to use it then
- send ten UK pounds to:
-
- Graham Brand, 1 Staveley Gardens, London W4 2SA, UK.
-
- I will send you a code which will disable the registration screen
- which pops up to remind you that programs like this take a long time
- to write!
-
- If you are registering from outside the UK, then please send either
- 10 UK pounds in cash, or round up to the nearest amount to 12 UK
- pounds (to cover bank charges) in paper notes in your own currency,
-
- Your support will enable me to develop the program further - feel
- free to offer suggestions, ideally by email. If you have an email
- number, quote it when registering, as this is the quickest way
- for me to send you your code.
