Actually, I have an older release of Ubuntu (a fork of Debian), so either would do. I changed my search terms on Gogle and found a bunch of likely programs. One is written is a special notation and has to do with LOGO [??] programming. The test MIDI "songs" are nice, and would serve IFF very short :-) ---They get more than a bit **annoying** after 20 sec :-|. Another possibility looks like it was written in Xlib (that I taught myself and worked with for a year before moving to Xaw). But it requires the olden Lesstif. I was expert at porting for 15, 15+ years, but need help with this. "locate" doesn't find anything like the following includes of libs. Anybody give me a pointer?? (The ``phase'' binary does something musical. --I took piano lessons when I was a kid, but that does (ABS) no good now. From the manual makefile:: # For Linux with LessTif #INCS = -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include #LIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib all: phase phase: phase.c gcc -O2 $(INCS) phase.c $(LIBS) -lXm -lXt -lX11 -o $@ @echo Compilation successful. Thanks for any clues. If nobody out can help, no problem. Probably a dumb idea anyway. gary > > ////jerry > -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
