From another unfinished project of mine:
---------------------------------------------
-- Filename: mcilib.ew
-- MIDI functions from an incomplete library
-- by Brian Broker <bkb at cnw.com>
---------------------------------------------
include win32lib.ew
global constant
xMciSendString = linkFunc( winmm, "mciSendStringA",
{C_POINTER, C_POINTER, C_UINT, C_INT}, C_DOUBLE )
------------------------------------------------------------
procedure mci_SendString( sequence string )
atom command, err
command = allocate_string( string )
err = c_func( xMciSendString, { command, NULL, NULL, NULL } )
free( command )
end procedure
--==========================================================
---------------------- MIDI functions ----------------------
--==========================================================
global procedure playMidi( sequence midifile )
mci_SendString( sprintf( "open %s type sequencer alias song", {
midifile } ) )
mci_SendString( "play song" )
end procedure
------------------------------------------------------------
global procedure stopMidi()
mci_SendString( "close song" )
end procedure
------------------------------------------------------------
global procedure pauseMidi()
mci_SendString( "pause song" )
end procedure

Most of the MIDI stuff relies on Windows services. Dos32 doesn't know about
Windows, so it can't access the Windows DLLs. Try EXW instead of EX.

oops... I apologize, I work with Windows so much that I incorrectly assumed
that you were too. It looks like there are other DOS-based MIDI libraries
in the archives (besides eumidi) but I don't have any experience with them.
