Well, it will run under BL2, in X.

I have yet to get it to actually DO anything. It is certainly not very
intuitive, but the documentation (download separately) does seem very
extensive, so it looks like I will have to RTFM very thoroughly.

I have not yet been able to get it to play MIDI files, but I don't know if
that is my fault or the software's fault, yet.

"OS 9" (MM/1 and Tandy) software ported to Linux.
