Sorry to leave you guys hanging. You may (probably) have heard that I lost my machine for a while. That put me WAY far behind. Getting with you guys is part of catching up. OK - let's see where we are. We have the mailing list (yeah!). Marc - how is the collecting of demo apps? Daniel - how is the web search? I took a quick look at some midi stuff from the web and I think that the file format is probably pretty simple. I think that we could write a file parser in just a few days. That would be BMidiStore. So, to start, I would create a BMidi object. Then maybe a BMidiStore and BMidiText objects. I think that is a good goal for the next week or so. Since (again) I have no real idea what your skills are, I think that I will just "assign" stuff in random order and see where we turn out, OK? Adam - BMidiStore Marc - BMidi Daniel - BMidiText
