These files are 32essentially wrappers around bits of Z80 code which play music on the 33Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128's sound hardware - either the beeper, or 34(eponymously) the AY-3-8912 sound chip. Files using the Amstrad CPC 35ports are also supported. 36 37`aylet' has a curses-based interface, and `xaylet' has an X-based one. 38 39One source of `.ay' files playable with aylet/xaylet is "Project AY" 40on the World of Spectrum website: 41 42 http://www.worldofspectrum.org/ 43 44 45Installation 46------------ 47 48You'll need an ANSI C compiler. `gcc' is fine - so should most other 49compilers be, these days. 50 51If you're running Linux, the Makefile should be ok; if not, you might 52want to check it. After doing that (or not :-)), you should do `make' 53(or `make aylet' if you don't have GTK+ installed), then (as root) 54`make install'. 55 56Once it's installed, don't forget to read the man page for further 57documentation. 58 59 60Contacting me 61------------- 62 63You can email me at rus@svgalib.org. 64 65 66Share and enjoy! 67 68-Rus. 69
