-
- 1.) System Requirements
- -----------------------
- The Program requires MS-DOS version 6.0 or later, Windows 3.1,
- 1.5M Byte of disk space, a Soundcard and a CD-ROM drive to fully
- access all of Tartaruga's features.
-
- 2.) The Program Files
- ---------------------
- The shipped zipfile also contains the following text files:
- BBS.TXT, VENDOR.TXT and REGISTER.TXT.
-
- The archive file for BBS, FTP and other sites is "TURTLE##.???"
- where ## is the version number (now 11 for version 1.1) and
- where ??? is the file extension, which will depend upon the archiving
- method used (it may be ZIP, ARJ, etc.).
-
- Short Program Description for BBS:
-
- >Tartaruga:
- >- Transfer raw CD-Audio data to WAV format (digital copy)
- >- Slow down and expand time of wave files without
- > changing the Pitch. This is great for analysing high speed
- > solos and phrasings, or learning to play by ear.
- >- Filters help you to isolate specific notes and instruments
- > used by artists in their solos
- >- A special wave player lets you listen to the processed sounds
-
- 3) Backing up the files
- -----------------------
- Please make a back up the Tartaruga files before you install the program.
- (at least back up the zip-file).
- The program checks for corrupted files (this can be due to hardware failure,
- a virus, attempts to hack the program or many other reasons) and will
- not run if the files do not check out. In that event, you can only recover
- corrupted files from your backup.
-
- 3.5) Installing Tartaruga
- -------------------------
- To install Tartaruga, first, unzip the archive file TURTLE11.ZIP to a floppy
- disk. Then start Windows, and run Tarturaga's setup program by selecting
- the run command from the file menu and enter A:SETUP.
- If you have copied the files in a temporary directory on your harddrive or
- you got a Versione on CD-ROM you have to launch the SETUP.EXE from this specific
- drive and directory. Follow the instructions in the SETUP-programme.
-
- 4) Copy Protection
- ------------------
- Tartaruga is copy protected and will not give you full access to all of
- the features in the unregistered version. You can use and evaluate the
- program for 30 days or 30 hours, before you have to obtain a software
- license and register the program.
-
- 5) Shareware Concept
- --------------------
- You may copy the program file "turtle##.zip" as long as you do not change
- it. You may not share the registration key (supplied to licensed users only).
- You may not charge a fee for sharing copies unless you comply with the
- provisions set out in the file VENDOR.TXT.
-
- If you do not have a copy of this software and wish to distribute it
- it for a fee, please contact WizardMusic by phone at (xx39)-11-7790523, or
- by email at tweety@pmn.it.
-
- If you decide to continue using the program and to register it, the
- registration key may only be used on the computer specified in the
- original order for the license. The key is strictly bound to the computer
- hardware. If you change your computer you wan't be able to continue
- using Tartaruga, but we will give you a new key if you have been
- already registered for a small additional fee.
-
