           Kurle will run in a Windows XP window
		   but only file operations are supported 
		   since most DOS Midi Cards can not be 
		   configured in Windows XP. 

Download time at 14.4baud is approx 8 min.

IMPORTANT: See notes at the bottom on using Kurle in Windows 95, 98
   2000 etc.

This self extracting file contains At Work
Software's Editor Librarian for Kurzweil K1000, 1200, pro,
etc. series of keyboards and expanders. The program is for
IBM compatible PCs running MS-DOS but also works in Windows
95 or 98 if they are configured right. (See Below) Details about 
Kurle can be found in info_ord.txt in this directory.
To set-up the download on your system:

- Download the file kurledl.exe in this directory to an
  empty directory on your system hard drive (i.e. c:\temp). 
- Run the file kurledl.exe  to extract and install the files
  into subdirectory c:\kurle
 ( you can replace c:\ with another desired drive or directory )

IMPORTANT: The extraction creates the folder Kurle. It puts all program files in the Kurle folder. It creates a sub folder Kurle\Patches which contains many Patches donated by Kurzweil 

- See info_ord.txt in download section of web page for MIDI
  interface information.
- Execute the program file kurle.exe in
  MS-DOS command mode (or a Windows 95 DOS Window).
  Windows 98 may require you boot to a command prompt or set the
  properties of kurle.exe to run in DOS MODE (not a window) - see below.
- The manual is in file kurle.doc (MS-Word 2000 document).
- readme.txt (a text file) has IMPORTANT information not in the manual.
  It contains information on configuring KURLE for MIDI CARDS 
  (revision 4.3.0) and MANY new features since the manual was written.
  
- Patches are found in the directory ..kurle\Patches\..
  (see the file SndsInfo.txt in that folder - what they are and how
   to use the patches.)
- Kurle requires an ISA Roland compatible MPU (MQX32 etc.) or Sound
  Blaster card with Midi cable adapter. PCI Cards will not work! 

IMPORANT:  Many users (including me) OFTEN can not get Kurle to work in 
   a DOS window in windows 98  - or windows 95. I am not sure why this
   is!  It may have something to do with how Windows allows (or does
   not allow) DOS programs to use and or share the interrupts and 
   I/O addresses.  Before you give up, try Kurle after a straight boot
   to a DOS prompt!  This will almost always solve the problem assuming
   you have Kurle configured correctly (MIDI Interface, I/O addresses
   IRQs and all that stuff.) So, How do you boot to a DOS prompt. One way
   is to boot to windows, then Click 'Start' and select 'Shut Down'
   then select 'Restart in MS DOS Mode' There are other ways for pc nerds.

HINT:  You can use Device Manager to lean the IRQ, I/O address etc of your
   ISA MIDI Card or ISA Soundblaster Card. You will need these when you
   configure Kurle.  Click My Computer, Control Panel, System then select
   the Device Manager Tab.  Select your Sound Video Game Controller device,
   select properties then resources. If you use the Midiator 101 serial
   MIDI interface just know which Serial Port you plug it into. (1 or 2)
   and follow the instructions for configuring for that interface.
