On the mailing list a few months ago, mentioned a program I had written, then called "midicat". Found out there's another product by that name. So, the new name of the program is "amidicat". The "a" prefix also clarifies that it's an ALSA program. It's a program that connects the ALSA MIDI sequencer to standard input and output. Among other things, this is fun for prototyping quick MIDI one-liners on the command line, such as "echo 903C7F | amidicat" to play Middle C. I have made a new release of the program, which is basically unchanged, except for a few bug fixes (thanks to Valgrind for discovering a minor memory leak). The biggest improvement is that there's now a manual page and a DocBook documentation page. Here's the webpage for amidicat, if interested: http://www.krellan.com/amidicat/ The download is there. Have fun, and thanks for reading this. Josh Lehan
