ANSI MUSIC
These are the specifications that Terminate follows. If you are a sysop you
could include ANSI music in your menus and then your users using Terminate
(or the few other terminal programs that include this) could hear melodies or
fancy tunes when they enter the menu.
Other terminal program will just skip the codes - nothing else will happen.
Maybe it will look weird on your screen, because your BBS system does not
understand the codes - but it doesn't matter at all.
I use this little code in my LOGO.ANS (Remote Access file shown at login):
MB O3 T120 L2CO4CO3L6BGABO4L2CO3L2CL2AL1GL2CFL4EL6CDEL4FL3DL6O2BO3CDL4EL2C
D
As you can see I clear the screen ([2J), right after the sound codes so
programs that don't support ANSI music won't see the codes.
It's really simple to create this music. Hopefully many more will start
using these codes inside online games etc.
Small examples:
MB O3 Sets octave 3
MB T120 Sets tempo to 120 (default)
You can use several statements on each line. Couldn't be more simple!
It's exactly the same command as the BASIC command called PLAY from
IBM BASIC or GW-BASIC, etc. Look in these manuals for more information.
Download A3E*.* or filerequest MAGIC: A3E with the point system, for the
latest version available on DAN BBS. Then you can easily make your own
music ANSI-menus. All MIDI, Sound BBS systems... MUST have this!!!!!!!!
