Keywords: EXTRA-HALFBRITE MFM-Encoding IBM IFF Music

Can anyone tell me how to check if my machine has EXTRA-HALFBRITE mode ?
An example program to demonstrate it would be nice (I know about
Halfbrite-hill, but don't know anybody in the Uk who has got it yet).
In addition, what actually is it ?  What can you do with it ?

Second question, does anyone know where to get hold of the MFM encoding
format for IBM & Compatible disks (3.5 inch) ?

Third question, does anyone have any example programs that will take a
saved music score from DMCS or Sonix, and actually play the tune ?  I
would like to avoid figuring out the IFF spec (ok I admit it - I'm a lazy
so and so).

Please reply by private mail, or post to the net if you think the answers
are of general interest.
