Hello MMDers,  I'm looking for a certain DOS MIDI file player of
circa 1990 or earlier.  It was called calliope.com, I think.  What
I particularly liked about this MIDI player was the graphics.  While it
would play any MIDI file, it was designed to play merry-go-round music.
The screen (80x24?) was filled with a mosaic of blinking, colored ASCII
characters which looked like a moving merry-go-round.  I think that the
last computer I had that program on was stolen in the late 1990's.

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone here knows where I can get a copy of
calliope.com.  Alternatively, where else should I look?  I'm running out
of ideas.  Archie ain't what it used to be.

With many hopes,
