This README file describes the example program files.

When you unpacked the archive file, you see the following files:

 JavaMidi.html - An ASCII text file containing the HTML for the article.

 MidiArch.gif - A GIF image file containing the MIDI architecture diagram.

 MidiPlay/MidiPlay.java - Java source code for the first example program
     that plays MIDI or RMF files from the command line.

 MidiPlay/MidiPlay.class - The Java code that may be run using
     "java MidiPlay <midi file name>" for example "java MidiPlay quick.midi".

 InstrumentTest/BankInfo.java - Java source code for the example program
     that inspects and lists the instruments in a MIDI sound bank.

 InstrumentTest/BankInfo.class - The Java code that may be run using
     "java BankInfo <sound bank name>" where sound bank name is a MIDI
     sound bank on your system. Use the MIDI sound bank that came
     with your Java run time, usually soundbank.gm under jre/lib/audio,
     for instance "java BankInfo c:/java13/jre/lib/audio/soundbank.gm".

 InstrumentTest/InstrumentTest - Java source code for the example program
     that plays a sample music tune on a range of MIDI instruments.

 InstrumentTest/BankInfo.class - The Java code that may be run
     "java InstrumentTest <begin instrument> <end instrument>" for instance
     "java InstrumentTest 0 10".

 SequenceInfo/SequenceInfo.java - Java source code for the example program
     that reports the sequence info in a MIDI file.

 SequenceInfo/SequenceInfo.class - The Java code that may be run using
     "java SequenceInfo <midi file name>" for instance "java MidiPlay
     quick.midi".

 SequenceInfo/MessageInfo.java - Java source code for the class that
     converts MIDI messages into strings. This class is not runnable but
     is used by SequenceInfo.java.

 SequenceInfo/MessageInfo.class - The Java code for the class that
     converts MIDI messages into strings. This class is not runnable but
     is used by SequenceInfo.class.

In general, compile Java source code with the Java Development Kit compiler.
For instance, say the following to compile a file.

  "javac BankInfo.java"

You should see a new class file output from the compile process.
