I think this question should be included in the next revision of the comp.sys.apple2 FAQ list... ;-) What kind of system do you have, i.e.: hard drive, one-floppy, or two-floppy setup? The system disk MUST be online when SoundSmith goes looking for the tools. Otherwise it crashes (this is a fault on Huibert Aalbers' part). That means it won't work on a single-floppy system unless you copy the program disk onto a RAM disk. Make sure you have all the required tools in your System folder as well. In particular, the MIDI toolset (the number escapes me at the moment; hopefully somebody else will remind me). -- Brian T.
