Subject:      MIDI PROGRAM

Has anybody written a simple routine to read and     output a midi file in
preferably Basic but C or assembler would be OK.

Thanyou in advance.

ummm....
what precisely do you mean 'read and output a midi file'?
do you mean read a standard midi file format and reduce it a simpler
form, like raw midi data stream? what do you want to do with the
timing information? and output from what? a keyboard? that's called
a sequencer.
if you can be a little more specific as to the need (like what exactly
you want to accomplish with it once you've got it) we might be able
to narrow this down.

I am also interested in such a program routine. If available
in C or PASCAL would be OK.

Tim Thompson wrote a set of C functions to read midifiles, and M.
Czeiszperger added writing functions.  Very useful.  The original
version with examples of use should still be at ucsd.edu in /midi
and is called (I think) Midifile.tar.Z.  I have a modified version
which calculates elapsed midi time as its functions read a midi
file (allowing for tempo changes).  That version is part of the
distribution of Adagio for Linux, which can be found at
ftp.Hawaii.edu in /outgoing/adagio04n.tar.gz (a gzipped file).
The relevant files are midifile.c, midifile.h, and midifile.3.
Also there are a midi file disassembler, file midt.c, and assembler,
file tm.l.  (The FSF file compressor gzip can presumably be found
at prep.ai.mit.edu.)  (The midi file player in the Adagio
distribution depends on an unreleased version of a Linux driver.)

Also, check out MF2T and T2MF, by Piet van Oostrum at cs.ruul.nl.  These
programs convert MIDI files to a easily parsed text and back.  Very nice and
efficient...
