Interesting question!   I'd like to expand that to include Windows NT.

I'm currently playing with NT, but don't know of any MIDI software for
it.  I haven't tried any of my Win3.1 software (Band-in-a-Box, Cakewalk)
because I'm totally new to MIDI as of this week, and am still trying to
figure all this software out.   :-)    The way Windows NT is designed,
much MIDI windows software will have to have its I/O routines reworked,
since direct access to the hardware is not permitted.

NT's potential for high MIDI performance is intriguing, since it doesn't
have all that DOS baggage running underneath (thank heavens!).   NT _is_
a resource hog, though.


Chuck.
