Is there any music-notation-to-music-sounds : software available that I can build using DJGPP? 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. -- George Foot Merton College, Oxford
