+The installer was created with
+url(CreateInstall)(http://www.gentee.com/). This is a shareware
+application that has capabilities close to the high dollar installers
+bf(InstallShield), bf(Install Vise), and bf(WiseInstaller).
+bf(CreateInstall) does cost $38 to register which is probably going to
+be frowned upon, but I was unable to find a freeware install builder
+that was suitable. The self extracting distribution currently:

+generate music from a MSDOS prompt with commands like:

LilyPond uses the code(TeX) package as its rendering engine. code(TeX)
represents the state-of-the-art in computer typesetting. It is used to
interactive, object-oriented programming language. It is often
compared to code(Tcl), code(Perl), code(Scheme) or code(Java).
+Gsview is used to display and print the music scores created by
+LilyPond.
