REM About source files
You need Phar Lap High-C compiler and linker (included in High-C Multimedia Kit).

You also need gmake.exe.

The paths are set for cross-compiling on a DOS emulator running on Windows.  You also have to change library paths in LIBS.LN for your environment.

All source files are copyrighted to me.  You can use them for free without getting an explicit permission from myself.





REM About Data files
Thank Yasu (the owner of Chaya Japanese Cuisine in Pittsburgh) for generously let me play and record his drums.

DRUMS.PMB is free for use.  If you need sound of the drums, you can use this data without notifying me.  Even without thanking me.  Just take it.

HGFMDATA.FMB is a collection of instrument data for FM sound generator.  I included it in the package by courtesy of Oh!FM Magazine Music Group (Softbank).  The data was originally published in December 1989 Edition.
