Perhaps someone can give me some help concerning the transfer of a MIDI
file from my Mac at home to my Internet-connected PC at work.  I wanted
to share with MMD'ers the MIDI file I made of the tune at the end of
Eric Cockyne's book, The Fairground Organ.

Using my Power Mac, I saved the file in MIDI Type 0 format on a PC disk.
When I brought it to my PC machine at work I could not open it.  The
icon was that wavy thing which then sends you to a menu so that you can
select the program to open it.  So I tried to open it with Cakewalk, the
only MIDI program I have here on my desk.  It was not able to open it.

The file was originally made with Master Tracks and I have been able to
bring files to the office previous to this.  Now I can't bring any here.

What happened?  Although we have several good computer nerds here, none
know about MIDI and music files.  Any help would be appreciated.

 [ I use this method:  Name the file with a DOS-compatible filename,
 [ i.e., 8 characters or less, with .MID appended.  Launch a Mac-to-DOS
 [ conversion program, such as Apple File Exchange, and insert a floppy
 [ disk which is already formatted for DOS.  Transfer the file in
 [ "binary mode", not "text mode".  At the PC, launch the MIDI player
 [ program (like Cakewalk) and use its "Open..." menu to find the file
 [ on the floppy disk and open it.  -- Robbie
