	Aloha!

Welcome to version 3.1 Beta of the ArborRhythms (c.1995,98,TM) Music Processor.  
It is a midi and digital audio sequencer/synthesizer/algorithmic generator.
It is for Windows 95 (& NT?) only.
It is shareware, $20 if you decide to register.
I would appreciate any and all feedback. 

Installation::
	If you downloaded a ".zip" version of this program, unzip it to a
	temporary directory, run the "Setup.exe" program, and follow the 
	instuctions.  After this, you may delete the setup files.
