1.1     ! root        1: This directory contains two example programs to read and write data
        !             2: between the MIDI driver and standard Level 0 midifile.  The Midifile
        !             3: format is specified by the MIDI Manufacturer's Association, and is a
        !             4: machine independant format allowing the interchange of MIDI (Musical
        !             5: Instrument Digital Interface) sequence data.
        !             6: 
        !             7: The program playmidifile reads a standard Level 0 midifile and plays
        !             8: it out through the MIDI driver.  This program illustrates both how to
        !             9: parse a midifile and how to use the MIDI driver in a simple
        !            10: application.  The playback may optionally be synchronized to incoming
        !            11: MIDI time code.
        !            12:  
        !            13: The program recordmidifile read MIDI data from the MIDI driver and
        !            14: writes directly to a file in the standard Level 0 midifile format.
        !            15: This simple commandline utility records MIDI data until control-c is
        !            16: typed, which then causes the collected data to be written to a file.
        !            17: The times may be derived from the system clock or from incoming MIDI
        !            18: time code.
        !            19: 
        !            20: For both utilities, the user must supply a file name argument, and can
        !            21: give an argument to specify which serial port to accept data on.  He
        !            22: can also specify a serial port to accept MIDI time code from.
        !            23: 
        !            24: There are a couple of test midifiles supplied to serve as simple
        !            25: examples; they of course require a MIDI synthesizer to play them on.
        !            26: See the MIDI driver documentation for further information about the
        !            27: MIDI driver and about MIDI interfaces that works with the NeXT serial
        !            28: ports.
