TEMPEST_FOR_MP3(1)					      General Commands Manual						TEMPEST_FOR_MP3(1)

NAME

       tempest_for_eliza - play songs with your computer monitor and AM radio

SYNOPSIS

       tempest_for_eliza pixelclock x 1000000 HDisplay VDisplay HTotal VTotal * radio frequency play mode amplification filename

DESCRIPTION

       This program displays patterns on a computer monitor that can produce musical tones on AM radios tuned to the proper frequency.

OPTIONS

       pixelclock x 1000000, HDisplay, VDisplay, HTotal, and VTotal all should be the same each time for your monitor.	Use the xvidtune(1) appli-
       cation to determine these values.

       As the name suggests, for the pixelclock parameter multiply the result given by xvidtune(1) by 1000000.

       A usual sensible value for radio frequency is 10000000, or 10Mhz.

USAGE

       In order to play custom music, it needs to be converted.  For this, see /usr/share/doc/tempest-for-eliza/mksong.sh.

AUTHORS

       The original idea for tempest_for_eliza	was  taken  from  Pekka  Riikonen,  who  wrote	the  original  tempest-AM-0.9  application.   tem-
       pest_for_eliza was written by Erik Thiele.

       This manual page was written by Luke Faraone luke@faraone.cc for the Debian GNU/Linux system, but its use elsewhere is encouraged.
