MRORGAN.COM v. 1.0 Page 1
Memory Resident Organ Program
by Mark Lutton -- June, 1986
INTRODUCTION
MRORGAN.COM allows you to play your IBM PC keyboard like
a one-note organ. The program has three advantages over all
previous keyboard programs:
1. Unlike "piano" programs which beep the note only
once, MRORGAN starts the note the instant you press the key and
holds it as long as you hold the key down. If you hold down more
than one key the most recent one has priority.
2. It is memory resident, so you can play music even as
you run other programs. Whistle while you work! You can use it
with a typing-tutor program to get audible feedback -- every key
is a different note. Yet it takes only 1.5K of RAM and gets
along with many other memory-resident programs.
3. You can redefine the key assignments.
The MRORGAN system consists of the following files:
MRORGAN.COM -- the program.
MRORGAN.DOC -- this documentation.
DUMB.COM -- a program that does nothing.
KEYMAP.ORG -- a file for redefining the keyboard layout.
PLAYING THE ORGAN
Run MRORGAN and it will install itself as a
"terminate-and-stay-resident" program. Now you can play the
keyboard. The keys are laid out like a piano. The keys
ZXCVBNM,./ are C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D and E. The keys
asdfghjkl; are B, C#, D#, F, F#, G#, A#, C, C#, and D#. (F and K
should not have any note
