Is there anyone out there who is interested in using HyperCard for MIDI
(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) applications?  Nigel Redman, a brave
programmer in California, has written a number of
XCMDs that implement MIDI input and output from within HyperCard.  These
are available right now on CompuServe in APPHYPER DL11.  The XCMDs are
shareware, $30 requested, with a fairly complex licensing scheme.  While
that is on the expensive side for shareware, be aware that this programmer
is *very* receptive to ideas about what you would like to do with HyperCard
and MIDI.  I spoke to him in January about something nontrivial that I
wanted to be able to do, and he incorporated it into the latest release
(first week of March).

To express your interest, send me mail directly.  If there are only a
few responses, I will contact you personally.  If there are a bunch, I'll
post more info directly to hyper-hackers.
