The first version of BiaB I bought had only 3 instruments, piano, bass, and drums. It had 24 built-in styles, no user styles, no intros, no endings, no notation, no soloist, ran on DOS 5 (not Windows 3.1) and was distributed on a single floppy disk.

I've watched it grow from those humble beginnings to the wonderful app it is now.

Nice work, Peter Gannon and crew.

Thanks! My guess then is that the version I received came free with some other purchase and was WAY old.
