Finally, someone got it to work!  The "problem" is that I sent only
one *.sng and *.pic file with alite.prg.  I had thought of distributing
some more of the *.sng/*.pic combos, but decided not to (in light of all
the recent grumblings about large volumes of mail).  Those of you wishing
to acquire more of the original alite music should send email to me, and
I'll email the stuff directly to you.
