Power Chords 1.1 demo README.TXT file as of May 1, 1993.

This is a demonstration version of Power Chords, a graphical music program
for Windows by Howling Dog Systems. To run this demo you need:

- Windows 3.1
- a mouse or other pointing device
- a sound card or MIDI interface supported by Windows.

To install the demo, copy all the files to a diskette or subdirectory, and
from Windows, run the supplied install program INSTALL.EXE.

(Select the RUN command from the FILE menu in the Program Manager and enter
INSTALL.EXE as the command line. Be sure to supply the disk drive letter or
subdirectory the files are in.)

Most of the files on the install diskette are packed. They will not work if
you just copy them to your hard disk - they must be unpacked by the
installation process.

The demonstration files DEMO1.POW through DEMO6.POW have extra support for GS
Format in them. If you have a GS Format sound module, make sure that you
select GS Format in the MIDI Options dialog box so that the extra GS Data is
heard.
