TUNICA by EMDEC (M D E Connor)
TUNICA is a PC keyboard program with a difference: it attempt to identify
the tunes you play. It uses two data files, SONG.DAT (the names of the songs
it knows) and TUNES.DAT (encoding for the tunes themselves). If these files
are not in the current directory when you start TUNICA, it creates them, with
a fresh (empty) memory of tunes.
In the spirit of the festive season, TUNICA currently knows a good number of
traditional songs. To prevent you from accidentally altering your SuperDisk,
we have put the read-only attribute on SONG.DAT and TUNES.DAT with the DOS
ATTR command. After you have copied it to your own disk, you may wish to
remove this attribute and teach TUNICA more melodies - or start afresh.
Try to work out how TUNICA works: note that it can recognise melodies in any
key - and can do well even if you play some wrong notes. If you match the two
.DAT files, you should find all the necessary clues..
