[rec.music.synth] MIDI Converter or equiv

spector@brillig.cs.umd.edu (Lee Spector) (11/13/90)

I have obtained a Mac program called "MIDI Converter 0.31" which is supposed
to translate TEXT files of midi-event specifications into standard Midi
files and vice versa.  Unfortunately, the standard Midi files that are 
generated are faulty in some way - Every program that tries to read them
(except for MIDI Converter 0.31 itself) fails with an "end of file" error
(error -39, I believe).  MIDI Converter 0.31 is FreeWare by a fellow named
David Zicarelli, and the version that I have is dated 1987.  It was recently
downloaded from America Online.  My questions are:

  - Does anyone have a more recent version that they can send me or
    point me to?
  - Does anyone know how to contact David Zicarelli?
  - Does anyone know of an equivalent product that works correctly?
    (My setup: MacIIcx, sys 6.0.5, 8Meg RAM)

Thanks greatly for any pointers!  -Lee (spector@cs.umd.edu)
