This document describes the sample program files, which are installed
in the SAMPLES\MUSIC subdirectory.

The Musical Methods application is an information display program for
customers of the Musical Methods record and video store. It allows
you to view the available items organized in different ways,
search for information, and view the available musical
subdivisions -- musical categories, media configurations, and sales
rankings of the items sold.


To run the application, execute "Do Music" from the Command window.
Music.prg is both the main starting program for the application and
the procedure file used by most of the forms.


If you have installed the Visual dBASE Compiler, then
you can also build an executable version of the application by using
Music.mak (do Music.mak), or manually build it by using the Visual
dBASE BUILD command.  A response file, Music.rsp is provided if you
want to build Music manually.
