; Chirper.asm - A TSR that gives each key a musical tone for audio feedback.
; This program is useful for those with visual handicaps as well as those
; that are just learning to type. After learning what each character typed
; sounds like the user will be able to audibly detect if the wrong key has
; been pressed.
