I've made this collection first for my own use. Now I give it to public for  all
peoples,  who  are  interested in programming for MIDI. But I can't give you any
guarantees for completness or correctness of this guides.

           !!!!! NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES !!!!!

You know - the DISCLAIMER ... it must be I'm a poor men ..... ;)

But I work with this explanations for a long time, and my meaning is : it's  all
correct.

It will be a good idea to print out the whole document for reading.
