hers
appropriately with "maybe".
We're all professionals here, just doing our best to realize the
possibilities given what we have to work with. I don't think
anyone's going
out of their way to make this any harder than it is."
==============================
Okay.
Since you asked (and since I brought it up, it does indeed seem
only fair),
here is a brief chronology of the development of events as I've
been able to
ascertain thus far; corrections are welcomed:
Macintosh introduced: January 1984
Windows 1.0: 1985
Hypercard including the "play" command (near as I can tell but I
don't have
original manuals): 1987?
Windows 2.0 released: 1987
Windows 3.0 released: 1990
abcCode released/used by John Walsh of the of the University of
British
Columbia: 1991 (http://abcnotation.org.uk/)
--abcCode is the scripted musical notation software that I believe
was first
used on the PC near as I can tell.
HC Player released: 1992 (http://www.pfhyper.com/hcfaq/hcfaq2.html);
apparent end of free HC.
Walsh releases abcCode system on the IRTRAD-L listserve, mid-
November 1993
(http://abcnotation.org.uk/)
abcCode and playabc released to general public March 1994 (
http://abcnotation.org.uk/)
I didn't join the HC list until sometime after 1994 I believe, thus
any of
my memories of Scott Raney post-date 1994, and thus also post-date
abcCode,
and playabc abc playback on windows PC computers, thus any
memories I may
harbor regarding the issue fully postdate the ability to script
musical
notation on the PC by 3 or more years and play back scripted musical
notation on the PC platform by a good year or more (I didn't discover
abcCode and its related technologies until considerably later when
I was
assigned to teach my department's multimedia development course
(horrors, I
know).
abc2win released: September 1995
Windows95 released: 1995
Hypercard 2.3 reviewed in MacWorld Magazine: November 1, 1995 (
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-17477993.html), but PR Newswire
reports the
introduction as May 1, 1995 (http://www.highbeam.com/doc/
1G1-16884710.html).
This is reportedly the version that introduced soundChannel support.
Does that work?
