I'm not aware of any good free MIDI sequencers; there are a number of good
commercial ones. I personally use Voyetra MIDI Orchestrator Plus, which is
sufficient but not stunningly good. I use it because it came with my sound
card (AWE32 PnP). It's for Win95, btw, which your .signature says you use.
A sequencer called Cakewalk is reputedly good, but as I said it's not free
and I don't know of any free ones.

If you abandon the idea of getting something that compiles with djgpp, and
look instead for a shareware or commercial sequencer, I suggest you ask in
one of the MIDI-oriented newsgroups for opinions on the sequencers.
