What/How: SPlay maintains 2 databases - of Songs & Discs.
          It Crosses entries between them to allow synchronized
          editing/playing of song rhythm info.

Notes   : * There are rules for the syntax of the Songs File "Songs.SNG"
            look SONGS.SNG or ask me to write documentation ...
          * Full Source + GPL license is in "SOURCE.ZIP"
          * Compiled under Turbo Pascal 7.01 (w/RTE200 fix)

          * Requires 386+ (For CD-AUDIO.PAS's SAMEDISC function)
          * MSCDEX 2.10+ must be loaded in order to enable CD-Support

          * In order to change volume you must have a Creative SB16
            sound card or a CT1745 mixer chip compatible.

          * If something doesn't work, try SPLAY /S /T ;
            It will disable SB-Support and Won't show you time left
            while playing CD but will keep your INT 8 & INT 9 intact,
            and may solve your problem.
