The latest version is 1.4
I have just downloaded it and run it. It automatically detected my SB16
soundcard, and just went ahead and played the midis I asked it to, and they
sound:
- JUST GREAT !!!!!!!!! :)
Trust me! I am a musician.
Oh boy ! At last ! I have been looking for this for a long time. :)
The MIDI instruments actually sound like they are supposed to. :)
Thank you, Dev, for the link.
I have also been able to get CDP.EXE called from within Arachne
by clicking on a MIDI link within a web-page on my hard disk drive.
by adding the line to MIME.CFG:
file/.mid |@CALL playmid.bat $1
and PLAYMID.BAT contains one line:
c:\cdp\cdp.exe %1
However, the MOD player didn't work for me, and I haven't tried any of the
other formats. It was always the MIDIs that mattered to me.
