	I wrote MP (MIDI Playground) on Fish Disk 478, also posted to
comp.sources.amiga (anonymous ftp to ab20.larc.nasa.gov).  It will act a
bulk dump/restore utility, but that is not really its purpose.  It's a
generic translator between MIDI data, binary file data, and text
representation of MIDI.  The documentation describes how to use it as a
bulk dump/restore program.

	Note:  MP will be slow for dump/restore because it writes one
byte at a time.  This is necessary due to the byte-oriented "translator"
design of the rest of the program.  A real MIDI dump/restore program
would use I/O more efficiently.  But MP will work.

                                                        Dan
