    I'm pleased to announce the release of my program

             mma - Musical MIDI Accompaniment
             version: Beta 0.8

    MMA is a accompaniment generator -- it creates midi tracks
    for a soloist to perform over from a user supplied
    file containing chords and MMA directives.

    MMA is very versatile and generates excellent tracks. It comes
    with an extensive user-extendable library with a variety of
    patterns for various popular rhythms, an extensive user manual,
    and several demo songs.

    MMA is a command line driven program. It creates MIDI files
    which need a sequencer or MIDI file play program.

    MMA is written in Python. You'll need version 2.2 of Python
    for MMA to function.

    MMA is supplied in 4 tar.gz archives. Included:

             mma-bin -- the main script and library files.
             mma-html -- documentation in HTML format.
             mma-ps -- documentation in Postscript format.
             mma-songs -- a collection of about 120 songs in MMA format.

    If you get the entire download package it is well under 1meg in size.

    MMA is currently in BETA. We are looking for lots of help in debugging
    the program, creating songs for distribution, and new and improved
    library files.

    Best of all, MMA is free. It is released under the terms of the GNU
    public license. It has been developed on a Linux platform, but should
    be usable on just about any system.

    MMA is available on my personal home page:

    If you have any questions or comments, please send them
    to:

             bvdp@uniserve.com

    Enjoy!

    Beta 0.8: Some major cleanups and minor syntax changes. Binaries now
    work with MSDOS-like systems. Complete rewrite of PATTERN code. The sound
    and style of the resulting tracks has been greatly improved! This is
    approaching a 1.0 release, so please let me know of any major problems or
    concerns before the we start to do a final wrap.

    Comments appreciated!
