We have downloaded the patches from  ucsd.edu  , presumably for the DX7.
The README file present at that 'ftp' site mentions that they can't
be loaded via the Personal Composer librarian, because the headers have
been "stripped off."   We sent mail to the fellow mentioned in the README
file who had made this comment, but have received no reply.  

I therefore pose the question to the net:   How might we try out these
patches?  How might we add the correct headers and download them to the DX7
with the Personal Composer librarian?  Alternatively, are there other
loaders, such as the program 'bp' also mentioned in the README documentation,
which might suffice for the task?

None of the other software also available at the  ucsd.edu  site could
manage to help us out in any way.  

What alternative 'ftp' sites for 'midi' software are present? 

Please reply via E-mail, if you can answer any of these questions.  If
your answer is -very- informative, then please also post to the USENET !!!
