This is BPM (version 2.5), a program designed to help disk jockeys 
    and anyone else measure the tempo of recordings. 

    
    If you obtained this program from a BBS (Bulletin Board 
    System), or on disk as a .ZIP file, note that there are two 
    subdirectories in the archive.  This file should be unziped 
    with the -d parameter.


    The following files should be present in this archive:
    
      READ.ME     The file you are now reading
      BPM.DOC     The documentation for BPM.  You should skim this. 
      BPM.EXE     The BPM program.
      RECORDS.    The log file I built while testing BPM.  Not a 
                  necessary file, but you may find it nice.
      COMMA.      Another test log file, this one in comma 
                  delimited format.
      DATABASE.   A file explaining that I do not wish to build a 
                  database manipulator into BPM, and suggestions 
                  for you if you want to sort, rearrange, print, 
                  etc, the log file.
      APOLOGY.    Apologies to people for suggestions made that I 
                  did not incorporate.  This file, along with 
                  DATABASE, also gives you an idea of what I'm 
                  NOT trying to accomplish with BPM.                   
      FILE_ID.DIZ A file to automatically provide a description 
                  of the BPM.ZIP file for BBS's that support it.
    
      The following files are in the FE subdirectory.
      FE\BPM.DTA    \
      FE\BPM.HDR     \
      FE\BPM.IX6      \  These files are needed by File Express.  
      FE\BPM.IXH      /  See the file DATABASE. for more info.
      FE\BPM.LRA     /
      FE\BPM.QSS   /
      FE\IMPORT.DOC   The instructions to import a BPM logfile 
                      into the File Express BPM database.
      
      
      PCF\BPM.DBF      \
      PCF\BPM.HDB       \  These files are needed by PC-File.
      PCF\BPMARTI.NDX   /  See the file DATABASE. for more info.
      PCF\BPM.MAC      /
      PCF\IMPORT.DOC  The instructions to import a BPM logfile 
                      into  the PC-File BPM database.


    If you want to get in touch with me, I can usually be reached

    tend to check in there 1-2 times a week.  My CompuServe 
    account (checked far less frequently) is 72060,3717.

    I hope that you find this program useful. Note that BPM.EXE, 
    but not the source code for this program, is released into 
    the public domain.
