1. MIDI output device support
I've converted some VB code, so Win32Lib can now send MIDI events. You can
do stuff like:
- get a list of available MIDI output devices
- open and close a MIDI output device
- send note on/note off/instrument change instructions
This is useful if you are writing something like a music composition or ear
training program. It's not useful if you just want to play MIDI files.
Since it doesn't rely on any controls, it's pretty much a stand along
module. At 650 lines of code (lots of documentation and whitespace), I'm a
bit hesitant to add it to Win32Lib. Should it be released as:
1. Part of the Win32Lib
2. A module in Win32Lib
3. A module, not part of the base package
Thanks!

2. Re: MIDI output device support
Sounds brilliant - why not release it as a win32 module as per option 2. At
650 lines, it's hardly going to increase download time, and if people dont
want it, they dont Include it in their applications.
