Short: Development files for midi.library 2.0 from 1988 Author: Bill Barton (Pregnant Badger Music) Uploader: Scott Tribbey (secrd2@gate.net) Type: music/midi Since this is not currently on the Aminet, I though it was about time someone uploaded it. There have been some requests for it lately on comp.sys.amiga.audio. The midi.library was developed by Bill Barton back in the 80's in the hopes that the Amiga community would standardize on the way to access MIDI through the Amiga's operating system. While this may not have happened, many people, including myself, have developed MIDI software with this well thought out library of easy to use functions. Anyhow, here is the original development distribution that Bill posted on the BBS's (we didn't have The Net back then). The only change I made was to unARC it and store all the files in an LHA file. Better compression, and some of you out there probably don't even know what ARC is, much less how to get something unARCed. I have used the midi.library with OS 1.3 and 3.0 and it works just fine with both, so you shouldn't have any trouble. Obviously, Bill developed well behaved code that adhered to Amiga system standards. :-) That's about it. Now aren't you glad that I didn't throw those old floppies with my PD collection from way back when fast Amiga's had 020's in them. Enjoy! Scott Tribbey secrd2@gate.net NOTE: Please don't badger me (get it?) with all sorts of questions about how to use the library. I'm posting it as a service to the Amiga community. I'm not supporting it. NOTE2: If anyone knows where Bill Barton is, it would be nice to have the midi.library source posted on Aminet. Maybe a version modified for multiple midi ports. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 980 475 51.5% 07-Apr-88 10:52:16 +change 354 179 49.4% 07-Apr-88 10:52:14 +change.info 4391 1596 63.6% 07-Apr-88 10:52:20 +cpg 354 179 49.4% 07-Apr-88 10:52:18 +cpg.info 4224 750 82.2% 07-Apr-88 10:59:58 +Presets 338 119 64.7% 07-Apr-88 11:00:02 +Presets.info 4224 1377 67.4% 07-Apr-88 11:00:16 +Random1 338 119 64.7% 07-Apr-88 11:00:18 +Random1.info 6972 2311 66.8% 05-May-88 19:19:50 +czplus 354 183 48.3% 05-May-88 19:19:04 +czplus.info 1451 836 42.3% 07-Apr-88 10:57:24 +exec.bmap 1495 702 53.0% 07-Apr-88 10:53:34 +ht 354 179 49.4% 07-Apr-88 10:53:32 +ht.info 393 223 43.2% 07-Apr-88 10:57:28 +midi.bmap 1649 820 50.2% 07-Apr-88 10:47:54 +readme 11508 6303 45.2% 12-Nov-88 15:39:44 +dmf 3768 2499 33.6% 24-Oct-88 14:55:48 +ht 12928 7500 41.9% 24-Oct-88 14:56:52 +mm 14120 7986 43.4% 12-Nov-88 16:03:38 +playmf 10896 5821 46.5% 24-Oct-88 15:05:44 +r 5172 3266 36.8% 24-Oct-88 14:59:36 +rsx 9040 4916 45.6% 22-Apr-88 15:08:26 +stat 3892 2551 34.4% 24-Oct-88 15:00:04 +tsx 6680 4080 38.9% 21-Sep-88 19:17:32 +ychk 3062 1223 60.0% 26-Oct-88 17:39:28 +benchmark.doc 8319 3284 60.5% 20-Nov-87 14:02:22 +bind.doc 39338 12900 67.2% 27-Oct-88 12:17:46 +library.doc 26866 7274 72.9% 27-Oct-88 12:23:00 +midi.doc 1207 687 43.0% 27-Oct-88 12:23:00 +revision.doc 8347 3499 58.0% 12-Nov-88 16:23:14 +utils.doc 2717 1173 56.8% 23-Oct-88 22:14:42 +hr.c 1762 833 52.7% 23-Oct-88 22:33:32 +ht.c 190 86 54.7% 17-Jul-87 13:31:02 +makefile 7847 2570 67.2% 23-Oct-88 22:30:28 +r.c 2376 1072 54.8% 23-Oct-88 22:23:40 +rsx.c 1784 832 53.3% 23-Oct-88 22:17:22 +tsx.c 19144 10491 45.1% 19-Jan-88 14:11:58 +bind 364 147 59.6% 20-Nov-87 13:48:50 +bindfile 358 141 60.6% 29-Nov-87 13:42:52 +makefile 4120 801 80.5% 21-Sep-88 20:17:20 +midi-lattice.lib 5292 1050 80.1% 20-Sep-88 15:56:20 +midi.lib 1087 407 62.5% 20-Sep-88 15:21:36 +midi_lib.fd 5256 1057 79.8% 21-Sep-88 20:14:44 +midil.lib 5952 3362 43.5% 20-Nov-87 13:55:04 +zlib 11667 4339 62.8% 24-Oct-88 14:26:30 +midi.h 1270 526 58.5% 19-Oct-88 22:51:36 +midibase.h 2860 1274 55.4% 12-Nov-88 14:46:28 +midifile.h 8404 3478 58.6% 24-Oct-88 14:29:52 +midi.i 2745 1129 58.8% 25-Oct-88 16:01:48 +midibase.i 6372 3747 41.1% 27-Oct-88 12:22:30 +midi.library 8464 3441 59.3% 12-Nov-88 16:28:20 readme -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 293045 125793 57.0% 02-Dec-95 17:42:02 51 files
