Version 1.6 Update
--------------------

Juke Box V1.6 offers these new features:
   1 - The sound driver has been integrated into the executable file.  The
       file SOUND.COM is no longer required.
   2 - You may load Juke Box from any directory.
   3 - The executable file is smaller.
   4 - Response time has been improved.

     If you have DOS V3.0 or greater, you may load Juke Box from any
directory without giving any execution paramters.  For example, given a
directory JBDIR which contains Juke Box and a directory POPROCK which
contains music files (.ROL extension) and the file JUKEBOX.DAT, you may
load Juke Box as follows:
   C:\POPROCK>c:\jbdir\jukebox

     If you have a DOS previous to V3.0, you may load the Juke Box as
follows:
   C:\POPROCK>c:\jbdir\jukebox /R\jbdir\juke1.rsr /B\jbdir\standard.bnk
However, you may find it easier to use the /D option to specify the
location of the JUKEBOX.DAT file.  To use this option, you should be in the
same directory as the JUKEBOX.EXE file.
   C:\JBDIR>jukebox /Dc:\poprock\jukebox.dat
Juke Box will then look in the directory POPROCK for the JUKEBOX.DAT file
and the music files.  (If no parameters are given, Juke Box looks in the
current directory for JUKEBOX.DAT and the music files.)

     If you have a Hercules screen and you have garbage on the screen when
you load Juke Box, try using the /H parameter which will force the Hercules
screen into the correct mode for Juke Box:
   C:\JBDIR>jukebox /H

Version 1.5 update
--------------------

Juke Box V1.5 offers three new features over earlier versions:
   1 - Support of additional wave forms
   2 - Multiple selections
   3 - Bank file for instrument sounds

     The wave form is a parameter used in the specification of an Ad Lib
instrument sound.  The use of the additional wave forms means that a
greater variety of sounds can be used.  Juke Box V1.5 supports the extra
wave forms and can play songs that use instruments that contain these wave
forms.

     You may now select several songs at a time and they will be played
back in the order in which you choose them.  As you choose the songs, the
square containing the number 1-8 will be highlighted.  The song which is
currently playing will have both its number and title highlighted.  Note
that you cannot use the keyboard while Juke Box is reading from the disk.

     The instrument bank file stores many intrument sounds together in one
file.  The many .INS files are now bundled together in one .BNK file.
This results in a significant saving of disk space and makes backing up
much easier.  If you wish to convert between the old format files and the
new format, we have provided a conversion program which is explained in
the file BANKMNG.TXT.
     By default, Juke Box V1.5 uses the default bank file STANDARD.BNK.
You may change the default bank name by using the "/B" option.  For
example:
     jukebox /Bmybank
This will cause Juke Box to use MYBANK.BNK instead of STANDARD.BNK.

     You may also specify the bank file name to be used by placing the bank
name in the JUKEBOX.DAT file.  This is done by putting a comma after the
.ROL file name and then placing the bank file name after the comma.  (If
you are unfamiliar with the JUKEBOX.DAT file, refer to "Modifying the sound
index" in the Juke Box User Guide.)
The format is then:
     rol_file_name, bank_file_name  song_title
Example:
     HBLUE, MYBANK   Hard Blue
NOTES:
- If the comma is not present, then the bank file name will be interpreted
  as being part of the song title.
- You may specify the path for the bank if you wish.
- The bank file name applies only to the song on the same line.  (The /B
  option applies to all songs.)
- The bank file name is optional.  If it is not present then Juke Box will
  use the default bank name.
- If Juke Box cannot open the specified bank file during run-time, it will
  display a message and try to open the default bank file.

--------------------------

If your computer has more  than  256K  of  RAM,  it  would be
preferable to increase the  size  of the  sound driver memory
buffer  to  12K.  To do so, change  the following line in the
"JUKEBOX.BAT" file:
       SOUND b1000 to SOUND b3000
The number following the "b" is in hexadecimal notation and its
maximum value is C800 (50K).  If you specify a buffer size which
is too large, the sound driver will print an error message.

     Because of compatibility problems between Compaq's Deskpro 86
     and Hercules graphics card, our software cannot make use of a
     mouse unless you upgrade Compaq's BIOS to a newer version.
