Overview
This program displays patterns on a computer monitor that can produce musical tones on AM radios tuned to the proper frequency.
Options
pixelclock x 1000000, HDisplay, VDisplay, HTotal, and VTotal all should be the same each time for your monitor. Use the xvidtune(1) application to determine these values.
As the name suggests, for the pixelclock parameter multiply the result given by xvidtune(1) by 1000000.
A usual sensible value for radio frequency is 10000000, or 10Mhz.
Usage
In order to play custom music, it needs to be converted. For this, see /usr/share/doc/tempest-for-eliza/mksong.sh.
