    I know one program that can help you out. It is called QMIDI. The guy
that made it has been putting a string of adds for the program on various
newsgroups but this program can be considered despite its many
disadvantages. For once though the .midi file does sound pretty good.
However you'll have to put up with 2 TSR programs that need to be loaded
manually. Also the actual routine is huge.

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

MODEX105 is a full-featured, albeit poorly documented ModeX library that
works with QB 4.5.  Angelo Mottola has it on his web site:

A bit of shameless self-promotion, if I may :-).  I've written a BASIC
MIDI player called QMIDI.  You can download version 3.0 here:
	http://www.primenet.com/~merlin57/qmidi/download.html

DMAPLAY is an excellent WAV, VOC and SND file player.  It was originally
written by Mike Huff, and is continually updated by Toshihiro Horie.  It
can also be found on Angelo Mottola's site:

Hope this helps.

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.
