I found this, for $50+:

... but then there is this, from a board somewhere:

"I recently converted all my .SNG files to MID with Voyetra's DOS-based Seq Gold. You can find a free copy at their FTP site."

Cheap bastard. ;)

OK, but when you dig in the past you might need tools from the past! I hear you, and I worked as a programmer in those old days, so I know about the kind of dirt one gets under one's fingernails. Maybe you'll find another answer...

Cheers,
Jon

There's this amazing invention called batch files, which removes the
pain, sort of like DOS novocain. It makes using Timidity or Csound
easy under Windows.

Er...once you get the setup right, that is.
