Biab

Post by Joe Savage »

I'm a novice at the BIAB program and this may have already been covered, but I just received the real book floppies from Mike Ihde and I don't know how to get at them with the BIAB. Can you help? Thanks.

Insert your new disk in the "A" drive. In BB click on OPEN (between NEW and SAVE). Click the little down arrow at the end of "look in". Click on 3 1/2 floppy(A). Click on the song (file) you want to hear. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Ed Meadway on 14 February 2001 at 08:04 AM.]</p></FONT>

Joe,
You can also put the floppy in and bring
up Windows Explorer. From here, you can
copy/paste BIAB1 and BIAB2 right into BB.

Then when you click on OPEN in BIAB, you will
see all the BIAB pre-programmed songs as well as the 2 M.I. folders [BIAB1, BIAB2].

Now just click on the folders and all the songs within will pop right out.
Now these are more or less permanently installed in BIAB. Saves having to put the floppy in everytime you want to access those songs.
