A collection of jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes, waltzes,
slides and slip jigs, written by Ron Clarke.
For DOS
This comes as a zipped file, and it must be unzipped to yield
the player: "FREESTYL.EXE" and a collection of tune
files: "TT*.FST".
It runs under DOS 3.x or newer, or can be launched from
Windows 3.1x or from beWilderers 9x, and plays
through the PC speaker.
It does not require any kind of sound card or fancy equipment.
You see, I suffered from the poverty and could not afford any
of those things myself, for a time.
By absolute coincidence, I had devised a system of musical
notation for DOS that was similar in many respects to abc
notation, but not as sophisticated. If there is enough
interest, I may attempt to expand this player to handle abc
files as well.
