# easy\_eliza(1)

wrapper around tempest\_for\_eliza

## NAME

easy\_eliza - wrapper around tempest\_for\_eliza

## SYNOPSIS

**easy\_eliza** *music file*

## DESCRIPTION

This program wraps tempest\_for\_eliza, which displays patterns on a computer monitor that can produce musical tones on AM radios tuned to the proper frequency.

Rather than requiring you to manually getting the parameters of your monitor, *easy\_eliza* detects them at runtime.

## OPTIONS

The program accepts no additional options.

## EXAMPLES

**$** easy\_eliza /usr/share/doc/tempest-for-eliza/songs/forelise

Start TFE with the forelise song.

## AUTHORS

The original idea for *tempest\_for\_eliza* was taken from Pekka Riikonen, who wrote the original tempest-AM-0.9 application. *tempest\_for\_eliza* was written by Erik Thiele.

*easy\_eliza* was written by Luke Faraone lfaraone@debian.org to make *tempest\_for\_eliza* “dead-simple” to use.

This manual page was written by Luke Faraone lfaraone@debian.org for the **Debian GNU/Linux** system, but its use elsewhere is encouraged.
