- 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.
-

- 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.
