Music player 00.02

[William Sudbrink]

I recently received a very generous gift of a group of 8 inch CDOS floppies.  A number of them are original Cromemco labeled and serial numbered.  On one of the disks, I discovered a program called play.com that introduces itself as the subject states.  In addition, there are a number of files with a “mus” extension.  The mus files are clearly in a binary format.  The program plays a specified mus file out of JS-1 speakers attached to a D+7A.  It appears to play six voices, three from each joystick.  There does not appear to be a composer program on the disk.  I have done many web searches but I haven’t turned up anything.  I have also gone through my own collection of original Cromemco paper documentation.  Has anyone else heard of this?  Other “hints”:

 

After the title, it prints:

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of COMPUTER MUSIC

 

Then it asks:

 

Do you want to change the starting parameters?

 

Then:

 

How many repetitions?

 

Once it finishes, it asks:

 

Play it again, Sam?

 

Any hints greatly appreciated,

 

Bill Sudbirnk

I have seen a composer program somewhere - but for another machine. I wonder if it is the same program but written for a different machine?

I will have a look and report back...
