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)
       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.

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.   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.
