A Musical Generator generates music from fractals, text, 
pictures and numbers.

Installing A Musical Generator

In order to use A Musical Generator, you must first unzip the
File AMUGEN12.ZIP and next run the Setup program (SETUP.EXE) so 
that it will work properly on your computer.  The files required 
to run  the program are compressed to reduce download time and storage space.  
Execution of  the setup program will decompress and write these 
files on your computer's hard drive.

1. If installing from a ZIP file, use an unzipping program to 
extract all files in the ZIP file  to an empty, temporary 
directory such as C:\TEMP; if installing from diskette, insert 
the A Musical Generator disk 1 into the appropriate floppy 
drive. 
2. Click on the Start button on the Taskbar. Windows will open 
the Start menu. 
3. Click on the Start menu's "Run" selection.  Windows will open 
the "Run" dialog box. 
4. If installing from a ZIP file, type the drive and directory to 
which you extracted the files  in step #2, followed by 
"\SETUP.EXE"; if installing from a floppy drive, type the drive  
letter of the floppy drive containing the A Musical Generator 
files followed by  ":\SETUP.EXE". 
5. Click on the "OK" button to run the A Musical Generator 
setup program. 
6. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

In order to minimize the size of the shareware version of The 
Musical Generator, no printable  user's manual has been provided. 
However, the on-line help system included with this  shareware 
version of A Musical Generator provides extensive information 
on using the program.  You can access the on-line help system 
whenever the program is open by selecting "Help  Topics..." from 
the Help menu.

Definition of Shareware

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software 
before buying it. If you try a  Shareware program and continue 
using it, you are required to register it (or purchase the  
licensed version, as in the case of A Musical Generator).

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and 
the copyright holder  retains all rights, with a few specific 
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are  accomplished 
programmers, just like retail authors, and the programs are of 
comparable  quality (in both cases, there are good programs and 
bad ones!). The main difference  between Shareware and retail 
software is in the method of distribution. The author  
specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the 
software, either to all and sundry or  to a specific group. For 
example, some authors require written permission before a  
commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You 
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, 
whether it's retail or Shareware. The Shareware system  makes 
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. 
And because the  overhead is lower, prices are lower also. 
Shareware has the ultimate money-back  guarantee - if you don't 
use the product, you don't pay for it.
