1. Assembler & MIDI - impossible dream?
Hi to everyone again.
I was thinking in a very big project, that I don't know if it could be
real some day... I wanted to play MIDI files at background in Euphoria
programs, because in a game, after the sound effects, that could be in WAV
form without memory problems, comes the music, that will be very reliable
in MIDI form, that is smaller than WAVE musics recorded from CD (they spend
a lot of MBs of your HD!).
I mailed to Jacques, waiting some explanations, and he told me that it
could be done just with some assembler routines ( a interrupt service ).
Well, I am a beginner, but I have some time and patience, so, I call you
all, I pray, I beg, if anyone have some knowledge in assembler, or just
about interrupt services, or better, some docs about assembler to
beginners, I would appreciate it a lot!
I tryied to do a game, but I hit in the barrier of music, please, help me,
and the other generations will have a lot of fun writing in Euphoria with
Music and Sound capabilities (this is to you too, Rob. Craig), Euphoria is
very capable, I am sure about it, it just need some programmers that could
make it perfect!!! 
PS - I did a hex displayer of files to work with MIDI (I know that debug
can do it, but I am not sure if I want to use a ready program, if I can do
one - yes this is re-invent the well) if anyone is interested, mail me
personally.

Hi Eduardo, I'm no expert in Asm, but I have some links to web pages
related to asm in my homepage... some of them contains good tutorials
(if you want a quick start look for VLA's assembler tutorials).
