Playing MIDI Files with the Sound Blaster
I know this question is REALLY simple, if you have a link to a good web page...
I have been looking for days now, I have TRIED to get Allegro to work, but there are always problems with the zip, plus I have NO CLUE what djgpp or whatever the heck that language is called...
I just ask that someone would either:
1) (Preferably) post the code to play MIDI files using PURE C AND ASSEMBLY or
2) Give me the address of a web page that can do this.
Now, one thing is that I have about two days or less that I can spend figuring out how to work the code, so I need code that is simple, lots of sub-routines that take care of everything for me, and I need it within 7 to 9 days.
The time restraints are because I am using it in a school project.
Thanks a lot!
By the way, I would prefer a library of ONLY sound routines, but if I must you can also include some graphics routines, but I already have graphics routines and will not use any graphics routines I get from you or the sight you direct me to.

I'm going to bring some of these routines home and test them out. If they work I'll give you a grade, otherwise I'll reject them, it might be up to 2 or 3 days until I can check them all.
No problem

I found a MIDI player that worked... It took me a LONG time because I have the Microsoft compiler which is not popular for C programming. Everything was written for Borland, Watcom, Turbo, and other C compilers. (Of course, Microsoft's compiler is VERY popular for C++ Windows programs :-)
To play midi you must know the Midi file format, and to use Sound Blaster you should know how to program on Sound card.
I suggest you go find some manual of sound card and Midi file format. I have ever found one but deleted accidentally, and can't get it anymore.
