I can't speak for everybody, but I don't see any problems here. I assume that MidityZ is a completely separate program, which does not share any code, nor call any any libraries that are part of timidity. I assume that it simply executes the TiMidity++ executable with appropriate flags. The name is suffiently different from TiMidity++ so as not to confuse anybody. I can't see how TiMidity++ can exert any copyright or trademark issues on to a completely independent front end. More GUI front ends equals more choice for the user, which is a good thing. Sounds good to me. Go for it! -Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
