Description
-----------

PLAY-PAK is a set of programs primarily for playback of standard MIDI
song files.  The Play program may be used in both batch and interactive
modes.  Interactively, it operates like a typical tape transport, having
controls for play, pause, rewind, fast forward, skip, song position, and
master volume.  It also displays statistics by MIDI channel, and allows
channel redirection, transpose, and volume control.  Songs can be
entered individually, or from a play list for continuous operation. 
Play/R is a memory resident background player - a trimmed down version
of Play with a pop-up control panel.  Play/B is a small batch-only
version of Play.  Record is a simple, single-track MIDI file recorder
which can produce files for playback by the other programs.
