Well, now you put it like that it sounds like a rediculous solution.
If everyone who needed to drive had to build big chunks of the car,
no-one would go anywhere! If it's too much for the person best placed
to do it, then it's obviously too much for anyone else.

Besides, that degree of work is absurd if it's possible to use a small
program on a RAM drive to read a file, saved to same RAM drive, to get
the data out. The program I found comes very close to this. I'll ask
the maker, if I can find him, if he's willing to make a copy that has
no GUI, takes specs from INI file, perhaps. With a separate executable,
there's no need to worry about keeping up with CVS and all that.
This really ought to be doable without having to devote a chunk of
life to reinventing a wheel. I thought that wxMIDI was supposed to
BE that wheel anyway, yet you make it sound like I'd be better off
designing from scratch. It seems that it might be so, learning enough
C to write a tiny app to read from saved file and port to and from MIDI,
forget about trying to integrate closely with a system whose writer(s)
really don't want to know.

You speak of MIDI as if I mentioned music piracy or something. It really
seems to put your back up somehow, abnd I really don't know why.
