NAME

       tempest_for_eliza - play songs with your computer monitor and AM radio

SYNOPSIS

       tempest_for_eliza  pixelclock  x 1000000 HDisplay VDisplay HTotal radio
       frequency music file

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, and HTotal all should be the
       same each time for your monitor.  Use the  xvidtune(1)  application  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.

EXAMPLES

       $    tempest_for_eliza    119000000    1680    1050    1840    10000000
       /usr/share/doc/tempest-for-eliza/songs/forelise

       Start TFE on a monitor with pixelclock 119, 1680x1050 resolution, and a
       VDisplay of 1840, to be accessed in the 10Mhz band.

AUTHORS

       The original idea for tempest_for_eliza was taken from Pekka  Riikonen,
       who  wrote  the original tempest-AM–0.9 application.  tempest_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.
