Yes, I realized when I got home yesterday that it was working fine under
Win95 now that I've switched back to using my trackball (which is using
the default Microsoft driver).

It's with 2.2 beta - I haven't upgraded yet (got the files tho). The
music seems to play faster under Windoze than under DOS (under DOS the
speed is about right, but it is noticeably faster under Win95).

That reminds me, I have the file formats for .IBK and .BNK instrument
bank files for FM music cards, and I've been successful in using them in
Allegro, so I was wondering if anyone was interested in me (or someone
else) writing some routines to let you load in your own .IBK or .BNK
files for instruments in your programs (to use with Allegro's MIDI
routines).
