I went out and plunked my money down for Deluxe Music Construction Set
yesterday. Quite a piece of software, though I am wondering why in
the world it crashes so much? I am running a 512K Amiga with 1.2 Gamma 1 -
could that be the reason? Most often, the crashes are non-fatal. (I guess
they really aren't crashes), but the screen fills with fuzz, and you
have to guess your way around to hit the gadgets before stuff clears
off.

Now my biggest and greatest question:

You can save stuff as an SMUS-IFF file. Very nice, but what I'd like
is some way to have music I've composed in DMCS (and elsewhere) play
from within my own programs. Has anyone made something like PlaySMUS
or something, or do I have to spend clumsy years doing it myself?

If the thing *did* work from the CLI (that is, PlaySMUS), how could
a body get it working from their own C Programs? (I want to know
this because I'd like to do the same thing with SeeILBM and such.)

All of anyone's help is, as always, appreciated.
