What does this mean?  Is there some way to decompress a .bin file, for 
instance with tar (treat it like a tar.gz)?

This looks like a GUI program since is it about 10M if I recall correctly.  
(I have been taking notes on the back of envelopes and they get lost).
I ran across some other midi player but I think RP8 should also play midi 
and cd files if I can get it to work.  (Of course that is also gui, but I 
only listen to online midi files).

I will see what I can find on the SuSE 6 or Caldera 2.x or Redhat 7 CDs 
that people keep giving us.  And then try to figure out which version of 
Debian would work.  I think what I got must have been glibc5 as none of 
the sound programs worked for me.  I hope the Debian site works today.
