+
+Bagpipe.tex is a macro-package for use on top of MusicTeX or
+MusixTeX, which are macro-packages for use with TeX or LaTeX. TeX
+is a language designed for typesetting technical documents,
+and is available for most platforms. Musi[c|x]TeX
+were written by Daniel Taupin, who is now deceased. They are
+available via anonymous ftp at CTAN sites and the Werner Icking
+Music Archive (WIMA). See WIMA for installation instructions.
+
+Version 3.02 of bagpipe.tex works with MusicTeX version 5.20 and
+MusixTeX version T.89. Since it redefines a few Musi(c|x)TeX
+macros, it may not work with later versions without modification.
+It definitely does not work with versions of MusicTeX earlier than
+4.7.
+
+MusixTeX differs from MusicTeX in that it relies on a three pass
+system to adjust the spacing instead of glue (stretchable space).
+MusixTeX is also the version under active development and has
+many features which MusicTeX does not. Most of these are
+irrelevant for bagpipe music.
+
+In this distribution:
+
+bagpipe.tex : the macro package.
+bagpipe.txt : same as above with a common extension
+bagpipe.ini : for generating a bagpipe format
+bagpipex.ini : for generating a bagpipex format
+bagdoc.tex : user's guide.
+
+quickref.tex : a reference 'card'.
+
+Green.tex }
+GreenTwo.tex } : sample tunes
+Bonnets.tex } : (note that in bagpipe music, two sharps are
+Washer.tex } : understood and the key signature is usually omitted as
+BlackDonald.tex } : in these samples)
+
+Notes: *.tex, *.ini, and *.mf are ascii.
+You may have to modify some settings to get your browser to
+download these files. The sample tunes and quickref in this
+distribution are set up to use MusixTeX.
