D4man for Windows 1.0.3

WHAT D4man CAN DO (AND CAN'T DO)
--------------------------------
The D4man for Windows program is a Windows-based D4 Librarian and Editor
that allows an Alesis D4 user to configure the D4 and store/recall its
configurations from PC disk.  D4man, in quick summary, allows a user to:

     - Setup an entire D4 "system" configuration, including all drumsets,
       triggers, program change table, footswitch modes, etc.
     - Define individual drumsets and modify all drumset parameters.
     - Setup all parameters associated with each trigger input.
     - Audition individual sounds or entire drumsets via computer keyboard
       and mouse.
     - Modify the 128 Program Change Table locations.
     - Store and retrieve all data to/from disk media, using a widely
       accepted and supported (by both commercial and shareware programs)
       file format, MIDIEX (a.k.a., Sysex, System Exclusive, or Cakewalk
       System Exclusive).
     - Print all drumset Note and Trigger assignments.
     - Operate the D4 via a programmable MIDI Patch Bay.

The D4man program is available in two versions, the "registered" and the
"unregistered" version.   Both operate in the same fashion with a few
exceptions:

     - The unregistered version displays an invocation message that informs
       the user that the program is unregistered.
     - The unregistered version's "About" pull-down menu displays "How To
       Register" information.
     - The unregistered version does not allow data to be stored to disk.
       It does, however, allow data to be loaded from disk.  Samples of all
       file formats are provided so that you may evaluate D4man and test
       file compatibility with other products.
     - The unregistered version displays an exit message that gives
       information regarding registration.

The unregistered version contains no hidden "time bombs".  It does not
automatically exit after a given amount of session time, nor does it
self-destruct after a given time period.
