     Installation

     You don't have to install PIANOMAN to run it.  The installation program
     PINST serves only to change some default values within the program.
     These include the Black-and-White option, the default quarter-note
     length, and two keys that differ on different keyboards.  PINST also
     makes an empirical test to be sure your system will allow PLAYER PIANO
     to open five files at once and warns you if there's any problem.

     The Black-and-White option de-colorizes all of PIANOMAN and PLAYER
     PIANO's screens.  Everything will be white on black, grey on black, or
     black on white.  If you use PIANOMAN with a color/graphics adaptor
     attached to a single-color composite monitor, you may want to invoke
     this option.

     Command line options

     If you enter a filename on PIANOMAN's command line, it will automati-
     cally load that file.  E.g. "PIANOMAN CONCERT".  Also, you can select
     the Black-and-White options described above by including "/BW" on the
     command line.  If you've installed PIANOMAN for that option, you can
     temporarily reverse it by putting "/CO" on the command line.  You can
     also use the "/BW" and "/CO" options with PLAYER PIANO.

     PLAYING TUNES

     Playing a tune with PIANOMAN is simple.  Type "PIANOMAN" at the DOS
     prompt.  You'll see a picture of the keyboard on your monitor, with the
     NOTES written on the keytops.  When you press a key, it lights up in
     the picture.  There are three octaves available at a time, and you can
