- MICKIANO.EXE is a virtual piano program for the IBM-PC and
- it requires a Microsoft Compatible Mouse and a CGA
- Compatible Video Adapter (It will barely work with an
- emulator like SIMCGA or HGCIBM. My apologies to people with
- MONO.) I originally intended to use MICKIANO only as a
- demonstration program for a Shareware Mouse Programmer's
- Chronicle that I have produced but Local Demand for MICKIANO
- has prompted me to release it as a Standalone Package with
- over 80 tunes. I pondered the possibility of extending
- MICKIANO's capabilities and have decided not to include
- editting features or utilities for creating custom
- compositions. There is no point in complicating this program
- which is Simply Fun.
-
- Mickiano Version 1.0 is a piano keyboard simulation which
- will accept interactive Musical entry simultaneously from
- mouse or keyboard and it also plays back Disk Tunes and
- internal tunes in a manner that is reminiscent of the
- player piano PIANO.BAS program that IBM once distributed
- with IBMDOS, and as a nod in the direction of this
- nostalgia, I included my own renditions of the same series
- of tunes that were Distributed with the IBM Classic
- including La Cucaracha and Funeral March of a Marionette.
-
- The Layout for the Keyboard is Quite Similar to the Virtual
- Piano written by Chris Peters in BASIC back in 1983 and
- which has been a Part of the Standard Microsoft Mouse
- Paraphernalia ever since.
-
- Since the source Code is included with MICKIANO, a competent
- author could certainly customize MICKIANO, but even though I
- am not lacking in imagination I personally would be hard
- pressed to think of any enhancements that would make this
- program more fun for Kids of all Ages.
-
- This program was enjoyably tested on XT and AT and even a
- PS1 and even the rodent had a good time.
-
- Requirements - IBM-PC or compatible running MS-DOS with
- Microsoft Compatible 2-button mouse and CGA compatible video
- adapter. (Pass the Cheese please.)
