Has anyone ever put together a HOWTO for serving abc, midi, gif, png, and
pdf from a server?  I know of the various abc projects from sourceforge and
elsewhere.  I've checked out bits of it casually but haven't really figured
out how you get past abc2ps (ie, I see how to get from abc to postscript,
but not beyond that).
