Subject: Shareware/Commercial.. DIGPAK?

Ok.. time for a clever question.

Does Shareware qualify as COMMERCIAL software?  I grabbed the DIGPAK and
MIDPAK kit, and looked at it.. I wanna use it!  Am I *allowed* to?  Or 
do I have to pay $1000 for it?  
I'm writing a couple of games right now, and I'd like to be able to support 
all those different soundcards.. until I found this I'd been considering GUS 
only support.  This looks much cooler :-)  The plan is to release my stuff 
as shareware once I've milked them for as much school credit as possible..

If anybody with some legal knowledge can answer my question, I'd be
very grateful.. and John Ratcliff's mail address would be even nicer.

Thanx!

Subject: WINDOWS MIDI driver

Anyone know if its possible to get the Source code for the Windows GUS
MIDI driver?  I wish to have a version of the MIDI driver which not only
drives the MIDI interface, but at the same time sends commands to my Tascam
MSR-16 recorder via the serial interface.  This would enable me to control 
the tape deck from my sequencer control bar.

anyone have any ideas?
