- Welcome to MidiFile Reader Demo, a demonstration of Spartan Software
- Systems newest addition to its Music Series products, MidiFile Reader.
- MidiFile Reader is an IBM PC, XT, AT and PS/2 compatible software
- utility that allows you to convert standard MIDI Files to a readable
- text format. This conversion includes every MIDI event and value in
- the MIDI File. After the text file has been viewed or edited, it can
- be converted back into a standard MIDI File.
-
- MidiFile Reader allows you to integrate your favorite text editor so
- that you don't have to exit the program to edit the text data. An
- extensive "profile" feature is also included which allows you to
- customize many aspects of the program.
-
- MidiFile Reader Demo is intended to provide you with an excellent idea
- of the full capabilities of the actual MidiFile Reader product before
- you buy. This demonstration program provides all the function found in
- MidiFile Reader with the following exceptions. MidiFile Reader Demo
- can only convert the MIDI File provided on the program diskette
- (MRDEMO.MFF). Similarly MidiFile Reader Demo can only convert the text
- file provided on the program diskette (MRDEMO.TXT). Other than these
- exceptions, MidiFile Reader Demo functions exactly like the actual
- product.
-
- In order to realize the full integration of Spartan Software products,
- the installation program, INSTALL.BAT, should be used to install
- MidiFile Reader Demo. The installation program will create a "common
- area" on the disk (or diskette) of choice where MidiFile Reader Demo
- will be installed. Then as you purchase other Spartan Software
- products, they can be added to this common area via their installation
- programs to assure you of complete integration between products.
-
- The installation program will create a master directory called \SPARTAN
- which contains a unique subdirectory for each Spartan Software product
- that you purchase. These subdirectories house the actual program files
- needed to run that particular application.
-
- The following procedure will install MidiFile Reader Demo on your fixed
- disk. If you wish to install MidiFile Reader Demo to a disk other than
- your C drive, substitute its drive letter everywhere you find the
- letter "C" in the following steps. If you wish to install MidiFile
- Reader Demo from a drive other that your A drive, substitute its drive
