[General Information]

MuPLAY boasts unique feature to support multiple sounds, from internal
to MIDI sound modules.

[How to Use]

- Put any of following supportable drivers in same directory
  with MuPLAY.COM.
 * Playing of a music data requires referent driver file.
 * Once MIO is resident in memory, MIO file itself does not need
   to be present in same directory with MuPLAY.COM.

 * Several commandline options exist, but details are unknown.
   One known commandline option is direct tune playing by adding
   a file name after "MUPLAY".
- Mouse operation is possible. (auto-detect upon bootup)
- When CAPS is ON, cursor keys are used to move mouse pointer.
- Click over drive name in upper right to select drive.
- Click left of spectrum analyzer and channel monitor to change
  speed of display.
- When music data files are too many to fit into file name list,
  scroll file name list by moving mouse vertically while pressing
  down right button (called "cat's paw scroll"),

- F2 : Reload from disk (make sure to reload after changing diskette)

[Environment]
- Though only MSX turboR can run MuPLAY, MSX2 with 128KB VRAM and
  MSX-DOS2 can also run (by excessively poor speed).
 * Attempt to play complex music data with MSX2 may cause hangup.
