And please definitely send me the Star Trek theme. : >I'd _LOVE_ to have it. : I would like more information (pointers) on this. Please post and-or : email. Thanks. Sure! What I was going to do at first was have it be almost like music notation (C C C Ab Eb C Ab Eb C) but I was looking at the other choice (frequency/length) it looked a lot less complicated, and would probably be shorter.. I decided to make the calling letters 'MND' and 'Z' for the terminating letter.. I was thinking News Music Data, (picked 3 letters that might not be used together that often, I might end up changing that with a number included, to eliminate problems with initials. Anyways, my program (if it works, I'm in the process of smoothing out my note playing function) will be for IBM or compatibles.. what I plan to do is either read characters from the serial port or read what is printed to the screen for input.. pc speaker for output.. If I have any additional data I'll post it brunner@helium.gas.uug.arizona.edu
