- ANSI MUSIC
-
- These are the specifications that Terminate follows. If you are a Sysop,
- you could include ANSI music in your menus and then users using Terminate
- (or the few other terminal programs that include this) could hear
- melodies or fancy tunes when they enter the menu.
- Other terminal program will just skip the codes - nothing else will
- happen. Maybe it will look weird on your screen, because your BBS system
- does not understand the codes - but it doesn't matter at all.
-
- This little code is used in the LOGO.ANS of DAN BBS (Remote Access file
- shown at login):
-
- MB O3 T120 L2CO4CO3L6BGABO4L2CO3L2CL2AL1GL2CFL4EL6CDEL4FL3DL6O2BO3CDL4EL2C

- As you can see I clear the screen ([2J), right after the sound codes so
- programs that don't support ANSI music won't see these codes.
-
- It's really simple to create this music. Hopefully many more will start
- using these codes inside online games etc.
-
- Small examples:
-
- MB O3 Sets octave 3
- MB T120 Sets tempo to 120 (default)
-
- You can use several statements on each line. It couldn't be easier! It's
- exactly the same command as the BASIC command called PLAY from IBM BASIC
- or GW-BASIC, etc. Look in these manuals for more information.
-
- Download A3E*.* or filerequest MAGIC: A3E with the point system, for the
- latest version available on DAN BBS. Then you can easily make your own
- music ANSI-menus. All MIDI, Sound BBS systems... MUST have this!!!
