Hi Charles,  I thought that as long as you have a MIDI player that
is compatible with MAC that it should play any midi file.  Since I
use an IBM compatible computer (running Windows 3.1) I am not of very
much help.

Jody Kravitz uses a MAC (and I think Robbie does too) and I feel
certain he would be a much better person to ask.

I'll forward your letter to him.

Musically,
John A. Tuttle
