PLAY v1.00 ■ Copyright 1993 by John Giesbrecht (1:247/128)
Play is simple utility which plays Maximus TUNES.BBS-style tunes from the
command line. The syntax is simply
PLAY <filename>
Blank lines in the input file are ignored. Lines beginning with an
asterisk or a semicolon are treated as comments, and are echoed to the
screen. The tune ends when a blank line, a comment line, or the end of
the file is encountered.
As each note is played, PLAY displays:
- its ordinal number within the tune
- the line number of the input file where the note is specified (useful for
debugging)
- it frequency in Hz
- it duration in milliseconds.
Pressing any key while a tune is playing will stop it. When PLAY finishes,
it displays the elapsed time.
PLAY is, of course, absolutely free. (Do you think I'd have the gall to
charge for this? :*) Comments and suggestions are always welcome; please
send them to me at 1:247/128.
