Midi2gs is a shell interface to the MIDI Surgeon program, published
in the Jan/Feb 1994 issue of GS+ magazine. If you haven't purchased that issue,
this code will do you no good. But if you have the MIDI Surgeon code, these 
routines will allow you to recompile its code to run as a non-desktop program
under the GNO or ORCA shells on the Apple IIGS, or under various shells 
available on UNIX. (I have compiled and run it on an HP 9000/700.)

usage: midi2gs [-v] [-h] [midifile] [seqfile]
 where -v indicates verbose output
       -h prints this synopsis
       midifile is the MIDI file to be read (default = stdin)
       seqfile is the MIDI Synth file to be written (default = stout)

example: midi2gs Brand3.mid Brand3.seq
converts the MIDI file Brand3.mid to the sequence file Brand3.seq. You will
need to use MIDI Surgeon or synthLAB to assign instruments.

This archive contains these files ...
   midi2gs.c         Shell interface program (replaces desktop i/f)
   GSStuff.h         Replacements for GS interface file (for UNIX)
   Makefile.unix     UNIX make file to create the executable
   makefile.gno      GNO make file

You will use these files from MIDI Surgeon...

   SynthFile.h
   MIDISurgeon.h
   MIDIconv.c
   Options.h          Not used when compiling on UNIX
