Subject: .ROL and .CMF files

Does anyone have (or know of) a program that plays .ROL and/or .CMF
files under windows? I think this may be difficult, as it requires
a SB emulation to occur under windows.

Subject: Midi connector

having gone through past messages, I have seen many designs for a midi 
connector, and many suggestions of alterations to make the design work.
Could someone please mail me a design known to work.
	If it has indicator lights and joystick ports, that would be even 
better.

Thanks,

Iain Huxley

Subject: Mods under Windows?

A friend of mine and I were talking about the problem with mod players under
windows.  One possible solution would be to convert the MOD file to a MIDI
file.  Since the GUS MIDI driver for windows is quite stable and works well
in the background like you would want - we need to have a program which will
convert the file and load the MOD samples as MIDI patches.  Either convert
the files ahead of time or convert on the fly.

There are programs which convert MOD to MIDI but none make the switch
effortless.  But whatever the case - utilizing the MIDI driver for windows
would be a much better way to handle MOD files.
