[Tfug] playing midi files with AWE64

[erich]

   I play them all the time, and I love 'em on my system. My system is 
wildly
different from yours. The only possible similarity is *.mid files or 
some such.
   So anything I would say technically wouldn't be of help. Let me know, 
however,
when you get it up and running. We might be able to compare "notes" :)

                                                                 Cheers,
                                                                 Erich
