Adjust the Level of Difficulty
==============================
The Music Box allows you to set the level of difficulty for
your practice session.  By selecting the intervals, triads
and melodic options you can practice just a few intervals
and short simple melodies or elevate the level of difficulty
all the way to every interval within an octave and extremely
complex melodies.

About Shareware and this Demo disk
==================================
The Music Box is shareware.  The shareware distribution system 
relies on users to share the unregistered demonstration version
of the program.  You may make copies of the demo disk and 
share them with anyone you feel may be interested in 
the program.  The demonstration version of the program does 
limit the choices of intervals and a few other features, 
but fully illustrates the power of the program.  After a 
trial period, you may purchase the fully functional version 
of the program by registering with Carner Enterprises (the 
registered version may not be copied and distributed).  
The on-line help file in the demo version has full 
instructions on how to register. 

Written for musicians by a musician
===================================
The Music Box was written by a musician and programmer.  
This program results from my own desire to practice ear 
training without the aid of another person.  All you need 
is a PC with a sound card to take advantage of hours 
of ear training at your own pace.

To Install the Zip version
==========================
Unzip the musicbox.zip into a directory such as c:\musicboxd.
Then double click on musicbox.exe in File Manager or run 
this file using the File - Run command in File Manager 
or Program Manager.

The Music Box program files:

	musicbox.exe
	musicbox.hlp

The Music Box  requires Windows 3.1 (or better - 
including WIndows 95) and a sound card in your PC to 
function properly.
