Jody:  I would love to hear some of the mail that's going on through
your internet connection.  I have a MIDI interface, Cakewalk software,
COMPAQ computer.  Do I have what I need to hear the messages???

 [ Editor's Note:  Jack, the jury's still out on what the best software is to
 [ use.  Prodigy probably allows you direct FTP access, which means you should
 [ be able to download files from the FTP archives directly and then play them.
 [ You need to set binary mode when FTP'ing MIDI files, or ZIPped MIDI files.
 [ Zipped MIDI files need to be unzipped using the UNZIPPER of your choice.
 [ The most popular DOS unzipper can be had from ftp.pkware.com:
 [
 [    /pub/pkware/pkz204g.exe    --- a self-extracting archive
 [
 [ Steve Vance had some good suggestions, in the article above.  I'd
 [ like some of the others to dive in here, because the procedures Steve
 [ and I use are somewhat technical and are not the only "correct" ones.
