                        InTune v2.5 Modes and Usage

Usage:    Full Screen Mode:  INTUNE [options]
          This is an interactive mode in which you are presented with
          commands and a screen full of ROL filenames.  You may select one
          or more songs to play, and issue commands using the keyboard 
          and/or mouse.

          Command Line Mode: INTUNE [options] files
          This mode allows you to specify, on the command line, which songs
          to play (wildcards are supported).  This also allows you to use
          InTune with other programs which require an external ROL player.

          Script File Mode:  INTUNE [options] @file
          This mode reads InTune commands from an ASCII text file.  Not
          only does this mode play songs, but also provides screen output
          and control, as well as access to other DOS programs.  (Useful
          for demos)


                   InTune Command Line Options (Page 1/2)

  /B<bankfile> = Specify an alternate instrument bank file (ie: /BBIG.BNK).
       InTune defaults to using STANDARD.BNK, but this option lets you
       change this.  If an extension on the specified filename is omitted,
       .BNK is appended.


  /D<directory> = Specify an alternate directory (ie: /DC:\ADLIB\ROLS).
       InTune defaults to using the current directory, but this option
       allows playing songs from other directories.


  /I = Display ROL technical information.  InTune will read and display
       information contained in a ROL file, including play time of the
       song, instruments used & missing, number of events, etc.


                   InTune Command Line Options (Page 2/2)

  /R = Generates an InTune Registration Form.  The file REGISTER.TXT is
       supplied with the InTune package, but if for some reason this file
       is lost, a new form may be generated with this option.  To print
       a registration form, type the command "INTUNE /R > PRN" at the
       DOS prompt.


  /X = Use extended display in InTune full screen mode (EGA/VGA only).  If
       your system is equipped with an EGA/VGA display, InTune will switch
       to 43/50 line display mode.


  /Z<zipfile> = Specify PKZIP file to use (ie: /ZROLS.ZIP).  InTune
       supports playing of ROLs from within compressed PKZIP files.  If
       an extension on the filename is omitted, .ZIP is appended.  A copy
       of the program PKUNZIP is required for this option.

                             InTune Play Window

When songs are played in the InTune full screen mode, the play window
appears.  This window displays information about the song currently being
played, and adds three commands.

The top line of the window indicates what InTune is presently doing 
(unzipping, loading, playing, or deleting).  Error messages are also
displayed on this line.  The next line contains three items of information.
The musical note on the left side of the window will be red when the song
is still being loaded into the sound drivers queues, and will change to
green when the entire song has been loaded.  The middle of this line
contains a "meter" which gives you a visual indication of the progress of
the song currently being played.  The right side of this line shows the
percentage of the song which has been played.  The next line displays the
time remaining of the current song, as well as elapsed time of the current
song.  The bottom line gives you the option of stopping all playing, and
pausing or skipping the current song.
