Jon,Don't be put off. It's not really too difficult if you can get back into a DOS mindset - it is still lurking beneath the surface despite many years of Windows. But like the Midi2txt program says
It is worth taking the time to learn this program
I also used Midi2abc to convert the Easter Bunny song "Peter Cottontail" to ABC and played about with the instrumentation. Quite a hoot!
I'll be willing to hold your hand any time, if it's not too clammy **BG**
Wassail! V
