#########################              Config file parsing routine written by
#- Modplay Config file -#              Paul Sutton (P.C.Sutton@bradford.ac.uk)
#########################

# The Modplay config file must be called      Modplay.cfg
# If no file matching modplay.cfg is found in the current directory when
# you run MP then modplay will look at the directory in which the copy of
# mp.com being run is in (So if you put mp.com in c:\bin put modplay.cfg
# in there as well). 
#
# All commands must be in lower case (that includes hex digits like 0ff2)
# Where a number is required the default is decimal unless preceeded by a $

# Lines preceeded by '#' are comments.  Remove the # from a command to
# make it active

# Colours may be
# Black Blue Green Cyan Red Magenta Yellow Gray
# Any of the colours can be preceeded by  light  or  flashing
# i.e.  flashing red on blue, green,  black on yellow, 
#       flashing light red on blue  etc.

#    Mixing Speed - 6000 (6kHz) to 30000 (30kHz)
#    16kHz is normal for a 286 12Mhz + and not much is to be gained
#    by going higher
#
#    8Mhz     - use 6000 for a mixing speed and it will just work!
#   10Mhz     - try around 10000
#   12Mhz     - try around 15000
#   Better    - 15909 is Ok, or 22000 for bit better quality

#
#    Mixing Speed - 6000 (6kHz) to 30000 (30kHz)
#    When running a shell to DOS.  If commented out then Modplay
#    just does 6kHz less than the mixing_speed above.  Lower this if Modplay
#    struggles when you shell to DOS

#   one.   Output devices are from the list:
