SH> NW> Noteworthy has at least two different versions.  There are:
SH> NW> Windows3.X,  Win95 version as well as a DOS version (music
SH> editor
SH> NW> only with computer  keyboard input only - and it doesn't
SH> play back!)
SH> I have the Win95 version and Yes it does play back... You need
SH> a soundcard and it needs to be put on Midi mapper to be able to
SH> play back... If you would have played with it a bit you would
SH> have seen it work right :) That sounded meen..Sorry it wasn't
The DOS version is the one that DOES not have playback... NOT the Win95
version).  If I had meant the Win95 version didn't have playback capabilities
the () would have been AFTER Win95, not after DOS version.  It even states in
the Docs for the DOS version that it will not playback, that it is merely an
editor.
Having had theory, it's not that big a hassle for me to manually do  the
manuscript... just time consuming.  I've also handwritten manuscript since
before Atari, Commodore, CoCo, IBM, Amiga, and Mac ever came out with the
first manuscript programming, long before a sound card was ever put into
production for home or office computers.I've made up songs since I was 12
years old and even did arrangements for my brother's band when I was 13. When
my brother's band members  couldn't figure out something, they came to me.
Any manuscripting program for me would just be a speedy way to get it done...
SH> saposed to sound like that..And so You have to input everything
SH> buy the keyboard or mouse.. You play it on a normal keyboard
SH> and then put it on the PC.. I love it.. Considering I coundn't
SH> seem to write out what I was playing till I got it.. With
SH> Noteworthy I here what I'm putting on the paper so to speeck..
SH> Yes you herd right.. I hear what I'm putting in it.. Thus the
SH> Midi Mapper command :)
Check the above statement... The DOS version does not utilize a sound card...
it is ONLY an editor.  It doesn't utilize Midi Mapper or any other
Windows-based programming commands...  I've got three separate manuscripting
programs in Windows and have used them all with my sound card... including:
My Sound card, an Orchid Soundwave 32bit Plus SCSI card came with  Midisoft
Recording Session as part of the basic installation discs.  It has 8-track
capabilities and has a built-in sequencer and mixer as well as manuscripting 
capabilities to incorporate any given midi file or build its own.
I have access to Cakewalk Pro (Win95 version)(in the studio I work out of!)
so manuscript programs and accessing the sound card is not a problem for
me...
I've done them all for several years...
The post about the different versions of Noteworthy for folks unknowledgeable
about them... and their differences. Some folks might have taken for granted
that the DOS version was like the Window(S) versions and capable of playback
as well. I merely stated the info so no one would spend the money on the DOS
version thinking they were getting the full blown version of Noteworthy,
instead of the crippleware that the DOS version is.
