                             NM 2.1  --- Less Memory

                           ==========================

Hi, computer music folks:


	Nimble Music ( NM ) 2.1 is now ready, the new version needs
	much less memory, so to those lack-of-memory-folks it's a
	great news !

	As a result, now NM 2.1 can hold 100 melodies for each kind, 
        so totally it can hold 3,600. 

	I notice some inconvience when inputing words, so I suggest
	not to input words now, in later versions, I will improve it.

	Besides I have fixed some other minor weaknesses. 

	For those who encounter "a.out" problem, do either one of the
	following : [ Because there is a system call of the same name ]


		<1> >mv nm xnm
                     ---------

                    >xnm
                     ---

	  Or

		<2> change the "nm" in makefile and recompile.


	Notice: If you don't want to throw away existing melody in
	        your bank, just get in to the "Output" mode, display 
	        that melody and press "b" to back it up, and then 
		move those *.text files in your Dir_Text directory 
		to a save place ( Outside Dir_NM_2.1 ), after you 
		change version, copy them back to  Dir_Text and "Load"
		them.

	  	To load the melodies, just left click the "Load"
		button on the menu, then click in any category.
		                    ---------------------------


	So folks, I am looking forward to hearing from you.
