On or around Tue, 7 Apr 1998 19:45:34 -0400, a member of the Kuwaiti
Mafia, under the alias "ek" <ekuchnio@myna.com>, was spotted delivering
the following message in discrete brown packaging to Lenny, the
funny-smelling guy on the pier:

Regrettably, the QMIDI source code is rather large (a bit larger than
20k in version 3.0).  Quite a bit of that is comments, however, which
don't take away from the memory available to the program.

>P.S. To the creator of QMIDI, consider making it a library.

Quite a few people have requested this.  The next version of QMIDI will
include LIB and QLB files, so QB 4.5 programmers don't need to waste
code space with QMIDI's routines.
