Well, there is another sad news for you. I was trying
to rescue some dosemu code I liked, and that included your
code in midid. I was porting the entire midid to timidity
to give that code a new life. The work was going well with
about 12 patches applied to timidity CVS, but suddenly the
timidity project have died. You code was in the queue and I
decided to port it regardless. The patch is available, but
haven't made it in in time and now its too late. Well, at
least I did all I could. :)

Not really. We did some very nice progress only because what
we had before, was a plain crap, so any progress was becoming
remarkable. But still the amount of problems dosemu has, is
infinite. For example, being linux-only is not all that bad, but
being x86-only is not even funny. I was thinking about to write
a portable dynamic translator, but fortunately I haven't started
it, or I would have spent the months of work in vain, like I did
with the sound code.
