Short: Development files for midi.library 2.0 from 1988
Author: Bill Barton (Pregnant Badger Music)
Uploader: Scott Tribbey (secrd2@gate.net)
Type: music/midi
Since this is not currently on the Aminet, I though it was about time
someone uploaded it. There have been some requests for it lately on
comp.sys.amiga.audio. The midi.library was developed by Bill Barton back
in the 80's in the hopes that the Amiga community would standardize on
the way to access MIDI through the Amiga's operating system. While this
may not have happened, many people, including myself, have developed
MIDI software with this well thought out library of easy to use functions.
Anyhow, here is the original development distribution that Bill posted on
the BBS's (we didn't have The Net back then). The only change I made was
to unARC it and store all the files in an LHA file. Better compression, and
some of you out there probably don't even know what ARC is, much less how to
get something unARCed.
I have used the midi.library with OS 1.3 and 3.0 and it works just fine with
both, so you shouldn't have any trouble. Obviously, Bill developed well
behaved code that adhered to Amiga system standards. :-)
That's about it. Now aren't you glad that I didn't throw those old floppies
with my PD collection from way back when fast Amiga's had 020's in them.
Enjoy!

NOTE: Please don't badger me (get it?) with all sorts of questions about how
to use the library. I'm posting it as a service to the Amiga community. I'm
not supporting it.
NOTE2: If anyone knows where Bill Barton is, it would be nice to have the
midi.library source posted on Aminet. Maybe a version modified for multiple
midi ports.
