While this works, the music will probably not sound nearly as good as it did 
from DMCS.  I've had to use this conversion technique often to get DMCS
scores to load into Deluxe Video III, and I HATE having to do it.  Has anyone
seen, touched, or heard rumors about a real DMCS file player?  Even after 
converting to .SMUS, some of the PD players choke on the DMCS instruments.....
