- Portfolio Tone Generator - V01.00
-
- by Carl Koop

-
-
- PORTTONE.COM, the Portfolio Tone Generator, is a simple
- program designed to allow you to make use of the Portfolio's
- built in melody tone generator. PORTTONE requires no additional
- files (such as ANSI.SYS or BEEP.COM) to execute and will accept
- input either directly from the keyboard or from a text file.
-
- PORTTONE will translate the alphabetic characters A through
- Y to the 25 different tones that the Portfolio is capable of
- generating. When the letter Z is detected PORTTONE will go to
- end of task. Input can be either upper or lower case and any
- characters other than A through Z will be ignored by PORTTONE.
-
- In order to use a text file for input PORTTONE uses 'C's
- standard input redirection character (<)followed by the name of
- the file. For example to run PORTTONE with the file MUSIC.TXT
- used for input the command would be: PORTTONE <MUSIC.TXT
-
- NOTE: When using a file for input please be sure that the
- last character in the file is the letter Z. If the Z, which
- tells PORTTONE to terminate, is omitted PORTTONE will fail to end
- when the end of file is reached and you will need to re-boot your
- Portfolio.
-
-
- The following is a list of the characters acknowledged by
- PORTTONE and the notes that they correspond, or translate, to :
-
-
- A - D#5 B - E5 C - F5
- D - F#5 E - G5 F - G#5
- G - A5 H - A#5 I - B5
- J - C6 K - C#6 L - D6
- L - D#6 M - E6 N - F6
- P - F#6 Q - G6 R - G#6
- S - A6 T - A#6 U - B6
- V - C7 W - C#7 X - D7
- Y - D#7 Z - EXIT
-
-
-
- I hope that you find PORTTONE a fun diversion from your
- normal use of the Portfolio, but please remember that tone
- generation on the Portfolio will put significant wear on your
- batteries.
