Once you get HyperMIDI, you may want to look into BENSON, a PD stack
which makes a very elegant universal patch librarian.  It is available
from GEnie (I don't know about CI$), but I will gladly mail it to any who
request it.  I use BENSON for DX-series synths, an ESQ-1, and a D-50;
no editing capability, but a nice thing to have as PD software nonetheless.
