*** AMERICAN ANTHEMS ***

     Five musical selections that have been used as the national anthem
     of the United States or suggested as an alternate national anthem,
     plus John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever", transcribed
     for IBM-compatible personal computer without supplemental hardware
     such as MIDI equipment.  With on-screen lyrics.

     Files are playable on just about any IBM-compatible PC, from 8086
     and 8088 through 386 (though there may be difficulty using 386
     machines running at or above 25 Hz).  No special parameters have to
     be determined or used:  the files adjust their speed automatically.

     The quality of the sound will vary from machine to machine depending
     on speaker and other hardware configurations.  IBM-brand PCs and
     PC-XTs are particularly unsatisfactory, though PS/2s are quite good.

     All files were compiled using Pianoman 4.0 software and thus have
     a number of advantages over other music generated for PC without
     MIDI equipment.  First the user can stop execution at any time by
     pressing any key.  Next, the files present esthetically satisfying
     screens (here, lyrics).  They do not require the presence of
     external software to run.  Also, the pieces run much longer and
     incorporate more harmonic parts.  They were easier to record and
     will run on a broader spectrum of equipment (such as 8088).
