1. Legal stuff
--------------

         This program is freeware. It can be freely distributed as

2. What is this?
-----------------

         This is a small textmode music player distributed with DEE
        Graphical Music Interface HORS and Dee music disks. DuBlay is
        capable of playing XM,S3M,MTM and MOD module formats with GUS
        and SB-compatible sound devices. For SB, it provides sample
        interpolation and panning effects. If there is not enough
        available memory for samples, the player scales them to fit the
        memory (In this case you'll see a message during the startup).
        Above applies for both GUS and SB.

        This program requires:
        - Gravis Ultrasound (256k+ RAM),
          Sound Blaster or Sound Blaster Pro
        - 386 or better

7. DuBlay errors
----------------

        Be sure that you have your ULTRASND or BLASTER variables set up
        correctly. If you still can't get your soundcard work properly,
        try running the initialization software that came with your
        soundcard.
