Version 1.1 :
in KARA.EXE :
- keys : Page Up, Page Down , Home and right arrow (to speed up) are allowed for
both lyrics and music.
If no lyrics, Page up and down give + or - 10% in music.
- The enter key which previously has the same function than the space bar,
will now give access to a MIDI channel display (toggle).
- The MIDI channel display shows the active notes on and the channel programs
an pitch in activity.
- kara starts in START mode automatically,
- New Options :
-st=[0..11] give the fill style of the background
-hd=[GUS|SB] to force the card type.
- The card type is needed only for the MIDI mode of output. The Synth mode is
always the Ultramid way one (found in the GUS SDK)
i.e. an interrupt furnished by a TSR.
( I include the source of my interface module if you want to write a TSR
for your card).
( In this case, think to others. Please put it on internet with a kardxxxy.zip
name xxx=card abbr. name, y the version number. example : kardawe1.zip
(just for example)..)
- The default options may be encompassed with options given in a kara.cfk file
with one option per line as for example :
#rem option example
#ff=2
#st=GUS
#rem end of file
- A bug fixed for midi file type 0.
- Many optimizations

- Songs are numbered
- A new key P for printing the catalog in a file.
- Files not found while in a catalog are now displayed with a not found comment.
- The first parameter is either a catalog filename or a directory (dont forget
the \ at end)
