I tried it on a few midis that came with drivers for other sound cards and 
it sounded absolutely TERRIBLE.  Very slow (1/10 speed) and very loud.  Is 
there some way to speed it up?  At that speed I could not tell if it was 
using different sounds for different instruments.  Maybe it is aimed only 
at newer SB32AWE cards, PCI?

I will be happy to listen to your midis if I can get this program to work, 
or with my working DOS AWE32 midi player pmb, from SAC archives 
pmb123.zip.  I have that working in DOS online with lynx (and something 
else for wav files - plany?).  Do you have a linux MIDI player working in 
combination with a browser?

I have only 1MB of sound patches (sample sounds) so I doubt I will get the 
full effect of your music.

Perhaps we had better keep DOS midi discussions off the list unless anyone 
else here is interested and Steven does not mind.

I could not even get the test LEFT CENTER RIGHT sounds to play (wav?).
