- MuchMusic for Adlib & Sound Blaster v1.11
-
-
- Copyright (c) 1990 Tsung Hu.
-
- All rights reserved.
-
-
-
-
- Usage
-
- Play Adlib ROL and Sound Blaster CMF music files and ZIP files
- that contain ROL and CMF music files.
-
-
- Requirements
-
- Adlib music card with the Sound Driver SOUND.COM installed or
- Sound Blaster music card.
-
- 90K to 150K bytes free memory is required depending on the number
- of music files in the directory.
-
- MuchMusic is a DesqView-aware software.
-
-
- Setting up the environment variables
-
- MuchMusic uses several environment variables to locate
- the music files. Once the variables are set up, you
- can run MuchMusic at any directory without any parameter.
-
- The following commands should be put in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- SET ROL= indicates the directory where the Adlib ROL music file is.
- SET CMF= indicates where the Sound Blaster CMF music file is.
- SET BNK= indicates where the Adlib BNK instrument bank is.
- SET MMUNZIP= indicates where the PKUNZIP is.
-
- All directories must end with an '\', for example,
- SET ROL=C:\ROL\
- SET CMF=C:\CMF\
- SET BNK=C:\ROL\
- SET MMUNZIP=C:\UTIL\
-
- During the setup, if AUTOEXEC.BAT reports 'not enough environment
- space', you should put the SHELL command in your CONFIG.SYS. For
- example,
- SHELL=\COMMAND.COM /p /e:1200
- increase the environment space to 1200 bytes.
-
-
- Running MuchMusic
-
- MM [rolfile] [cmffile] [bnkfile] [zipfile] [/a] [/b]
-
- Default is ROL and CMF files of the current directory or the
- directory indicated by the SET ROL= and SET CMF= environment
- variables. \ must be the last character in these variables. For
- example, you can put the following lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- SET ROL=C:\ROL\
- SET CMF=C:\CMF\
- If no ROL or CMF is in the directory, ZIP files in the directory
- are searched. As a result, just
- MM
- in the DOS command line includes all ROL file in C:\ROL\ and
- CMF file in C:\CMF\. If there is no ROL or CMF, all ZIP file
- in C:\ROL\ and C:\CMF\ are included for ROL and CMF file.
-
- [rolfile] and [cmffile] can be any valid path name. If no
- extension is given, both ROL and CMF files will be searched.
- For example,
- MM \MUSIC\*
- includes all ROL and CMF in the MUSIC directory. Multiple
- directories can be specified. For example,
- MM \ROL\*.ROL \MUSIC\*.ROL \CMF\*.CMF
- includes all ROL files in ROL and MUSIC directory and CMF
- files in the CMF directory.
-
- [bnkfile] is a Adlib instrument bank. Default bank is the
- STANDARD.BNK in the current directory or the directory
- indicated by the SET BNK= environment variable. For example,
- MM MYBANK.BNK
- uses the MYBANK.BNK instrument bank instead of the standard
- bank. If the standard instrument bank is not on the current
- directory, you can put the following lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- SET BNK=C:\ROL\
- assuming that the STANDARD.BNK is in the C:\ROL\ directory.
-
- [zipfile] is a ZIP compressed file which contains ROL or CMF
- music file. You must have PKUNZIP.EXE in the current
- directory, a directory indicated by the SET PATH= environment
- variable or the directory indicated by the SET MMUNZIP=
- environment variable. For example, you can put the following
- lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- SET MMUNZIP=C:\ROL\
- To play ROL or CMF inside a ZIP file, you can rum
- MM ROL.ZIP
- or MM ROL.ZIP \MUSIC\CMF.ZIP
- However, the STANDARD.BNK inside the ZIP file is NOT used.
- You can also mix the [rolfile] and [cmffile] with the
- [zipfile] parameter. For example,
- MM *.ROL *.CMF \MUSIC\*.ZIP
-
- [/a] option forces MuchMusic to check for Adlib Music Card
- only. If you have an Adlib card and CMF music files, you
- should use this option.
-
- [/b] option forces BIOS write instead of direct screen write.
