- I was just trying to have him some bucks, perhaps (if the library wasn't for
- free). If he already has some kind of serial lib, then the module
- void MIDI_Open(void){ return SerOpen(31250); }
- void MIDI_Write(char *s,int len){ SerWrite(s,len); }
- int MIDI_Read(char *s,int len){ return SerRead(s,len); }
- would do the trick. Besides, you can set the SHARED bit for a serial port,
- thus making it sharable amongst other programs using the port.
- My point was that MIDI==Serial (on the Amiga), and thus this might help him
- without the use of some MIDI library (some MIDI info like $9x $nn $vv, $8x...
- and you're there).
