From the supplier: The Office of Academic Computing (OAC) at Ferris State University (FSC) in MI, oversees microcomputers on campus and offers training in computer skills to Ferris faulty and staff. A major component of the training workshops is the kit of software tools each participant receives. Cost is a primary factor in selecting the word processing, spreadsheet, and database manager programs for the kits. Cost prompted FSU to use freeware-shareware programs that can be distributed and cost only a nominal fee to become a registered user. The OAC has more than 18,000 freeware-shareware programs on file and has selected ExpressCalc Version 3.1 as its toolkit spreadsheet, PC-Write Version 2.7 as its word processor, and PC-File+ Version 1.0 as its database manager.

Extrait : Un logiciel libre est un logiciel dont l'utilisation, l'étude, la modification, la duplication et la diffusion sont universellement autorisées sans contrepartie. Les droits correspondant à ces libertés peuvent être simplement disponibles (comme pour les logiciels du domaine public ) ou établis par une licence dite « libre » basée sur le droit d'auteur ; les licences qui imposent le maintien de ces droits aux logiciels dérivés sont dites « licences copyleft ». Si la production et la distribution de logiciels libres peuvent être rémunérées, leur utilisation doit rester libre, et donc potentiellement gratuite. Ils sont toutefois à distinguer des freewares (gratuiciels) qui ne sont pas nécessairement libres. La notion de logiciel Open Source telle que définie par l'Open Source Initiative est reconnue comme techniquement comparable à celle du logiciel libre. Richard Stallman a formalisé la notion de logiciel libre pendant la première moitié des années 1980 puis l'a popularisée avec le projet GNU et la Free Software Foundation (FSF). Les logiciels libres constituent une alternative à ceux qui ne le sont pas, qualifiés de « propriétaires » ou de « privateurs ».

Picked this up at a library thrift store.
From the looks of it, its a sound blaster use and programmers guide, meant for early DOS/Windows machines, it contains descriptions of interrupt calls used to program the card from assembly. I did take a 8086 assembly class, so I can say that much about the book. I can't tell you if it is still relevant, but it looks like it would be easy to read. It also covers midi sequencing and the MPU-401 interface. If you still have a serial port on your machine and dos sequencer programs, this book might help describe how to get a midi sequencer working on a old pc. Midi sequencers never need more than a basic computer to work, even some had used Commodore 64's for sequencing and composition. It's when you sample sound that a faster computer is needed. ...
