There is a link at the bottom of one page - Premium or Free - which took 
me to the page that said I needed javascript.

Thanks, but I found a couple of radio stations that broadcast ogg in 
streaming format.   I just wondered if regular oggs could be downloaded as 
streaming oggs instead of a 30 min download before listening.  Maybe 
Samuel could post short excerpts for narrow-band users.

Perhaps SW81 has the libraries.

I will learn to make midis first.  These oggs were posted to demonstrate 
what OPL2 OPL3 and XG midi formats can sound like.

We now have a midi extension cable so there is no longer any need to block 
the front door with an additional computer for the piano.  It was sold 
originally as a joystick extension cable.  Two keyboard extension cables 
(DIN) might also have worked.

Does BL work in a Win98 DOS box?  We have been asked to upgrade two 
people to Win98SE and I might add linux in the process.

I ask because someone told me PC-File 5 is buggy under Windows, but it 
works in plain DOS.  And a DOS CAD program works under XP but is buggy in 
real DOS.
