mtest 0.0

Copyright (C) Hannu Savolainen, 1994.

This incomplete version is released just as an example program. You
may compile it for your personal use only. Distribution of binaries
or any other software derived from this one is strightly prohibited.
If you are interested to use this software for serious work, please 
contact the author.



This directory contains an early prototype of a library for loading and
saving MIDI files. This current version is a disaster but
it works in some cases. My goal is to make a library which works as a
work space for some GUI based sequencer programs. The current one is
capable to load a MIDI file correctly (almost) but the interface to
the client software is useless. 

I have included this package here just because it's the only program 
which uses the new /dev/sequencer2 interface. By default it outputs
to the synth device number 0 (GUS or OPL3 depending on your config). 
If you use this program with an internal synthesizer, you have to use
an external patch manager program. The pmgr of the Adagio 0.5 package is
currently the only patch manager available. You may want to compile it and
to run it on background before starting mtest.

I have usually used this program with a WaveBlaster. The device number
may be given as the first parameter (mtest [devno] midifile).
