The following program is offered as freeware.  You may do whatever you wish  
with it.  I am not a shareware author and don't intend to become one.  I 
thought that it might help some interested person.  The code is written in
BASIC and several musical programs have been included.
  
  If you do not have Melody Master, by Alexei A. Efros Jr., I suggest that 
you download it from the INVENTION FACTORY BBS.  It is listed as MELODY21.ZIP.  
It is simple to use and no special hardware is required.  All musical 
selections included here were written using Melody Master 2.1.  If a non 
musical person like me can use Melody Master, I believe that anyone can.

  The Music Box program included can be used to play BAS files created with
Melody Master.  It simply strips off unnecessary data from each line and 
leaves only the musical data which it then plays.

  Copy all files to the directory in which you have installed Melody Master.
Be sure that SORT.EXE and BASICA is in the path.  Type the following:

                               BASICA MUSIC   <enter>

  This program will create a menu file.  Selections will be sorted and printed
on the screen. Simply scroll the menu using the cursor keys. You can flag
musical files that you want to play automatically using the "A" key.  The
program is set to hold 120 musical selections but may be changed by rewriting
the BASIC code.

  The following BASIC program illustrates the exact format for your musical
  selections.  It plays "POPEYE" and was created by Melody Master.  You can
  create them manualy if you wish, but you must follow the format used.  You
  may however eliminate the REM statements.
