Val, I got the tune off a list of tunes in ABC format. If you go to the link included, you'll notice it takes you to a website that has a sizeable collection of 'collections' of tunes from all over the world in ABC format. I think there is a list of ABC readers there for download as well. Here's the link;
http://www.walshaw.plus.com/abc/tunes.html If you look down about halfway through the list of "large collections" you'll notice one by Richard Layton. I downloaded that file and split it into groups of 1000 tunes to make it more manageable. I think that the "???/C Dorian" tune is somewhere up between 4000 and 5000, though I've scanned 3000 through 5000 some odd and have not found it. But I know it was there.
