Comp-G-Tab  1.9 (Guitar)

This distribution contains both a dos and windows version of the program.  
The dos version is called CGTABV19.EXE and the Windows version is called
CGTABW19.EXE.

   COMP-G-TAB can be used to convert MIDI (types 0, 1, 2) to guitar TAB sheet
   music.  This program works well on MIDI files which have large sections of
   notes played in the same proximity (i.e., two handed piano, or single track
   MIDI files using many simultaneously playing instruments are difficult to
   translate).  The guitar's octave range is also limited in comparison to
   instruments, such as the piano, and does not easily provide for good
   positioning of very high or low notes. 
   
   Thus, COMP-G-TAB employs several algorithms for coping with this
   deficiency.  I have tested COMP-G-TAB with over 600 MIDI files, and have
   found useful output from over 50% of the them.  There is a good chance
   COMP-G-TAB will be able to unravel the mysteries of your favorite MIDI
   song!  Some alternate guitar tunings are supported.


   To run COMP-G-TAB, you need only the following:
   
    1. IBMPC 386 compatible or better. 
    2. At least 4 meg of RAM to load and process a MIDI file. 
    2. A MIDI file to transcribe.  Some are included as examples. 
    3. Optional: printer. 



   Registration
   ------------

   You may try COMP-G-TAB for a 30 day trial period.  After which time, you
   must register the product by  mailing in the Registration form, or remove
   the COMP-G-TAB software from your systems.  The Registration form is
   included in the file 'FORM.DOC'. After mailing in your Registration form, 
   you will receive the full version of COMP-G-TAB on your choice of media. 
   
   The current DEMO version will only show the TAB for the first 7 lines of the
   first 3 tracks.  The cost of Registration for those in the U.S. is $18.00
