I have figured out a way to play MIDI files by schedule without any
programming.  It is a little complicated but can be automated by writ-
ing a program if there is enough interest.  This works only on a Win-
dows machine.  Either of the following methods will work for setting up
a carillon.

VanBasco's Karaoke player can be opened with any MIDI file passed to it
as a parameter.  For example, if you have a MIDI file named 01046.mid
in the folder C:\miditemp, you can type the following into the run
command line  to play the file: vmidi.exe C:\miditemp\01046 em.mid.
This same command can be run as a task in the task scheduler, which can
be set to run the task at any time once or repeated daily, weekly, etc.

There is a shareware program called Kirby Alarm that is a little easier
to use than the task scheduler, although it probably just uses the task
scheduler.  I just tested it, and it will run VanBasco's, with a MIDI
file passed as a parameter.  You have to provide the full path of Van-
Basco's and append the MIDI file path.  You can choose single or repeat
scheduling.

I have a Perl module that allows for automating of scheduled tasks; so
I could write a program that would allow you to select files from a
list and specify the time to run them.  Making this user friendly would
not be trivial.  So I am not likely to write the program unless there
is adequate demand.
