Peter...and then I go to the ABC thread and read this from Alan of Aus.

Joe, I'm still working on a couple of programs, virtually finished but need more testing. There's a lot they won't do, but they will allow Mudcat users to post MIDI files in text form, and convert the result back to MIDI. The MIDI to text program also produces an ABC text of the melody so the posted text should please most users. I'll be away for the weekend but should get this finished early next week. You'll be able to download from my homepage but not yet!

so maybe there IS hope!!Lets see what happens...remind me, and I'll see if I can record it, also..(I have a mic and could probably figure out how to make a .wav file..it would not be 'too' very large for this tune)
