	Opcode Systems
	444 Ramona St
	Palo Alto, CA 94301
	(415) 321-8977

has a source code library for MIDI communications.  They sell for ~$20.
I believe they include versions for Lightspeed C and Pascal, MPW C,
MDS assembler, and possibly one other C compiler.  All the versions
are included on one disk.

I used these routines in a Yamaha FB-01 voice editor I wrote.  They
weren't terribly well documented, though I was able to finally figure
things out, and am pleased with their performance.  The documentation
does not say anything (that I remember) about commercial liscensing
of the libraries, though.  You might want to contact them if you
want to sell your code.

Have fun!
