I tend to use timidity - and that works with files. Wondering what might be available to play MID under DOSBOX, I found this: https://mateusz.fr/dosmid/ It played a MID file straight up without any extra parms on the command line. That's probably because DOSBOX was already preconfigured for sound. FWIW here's what's in my 'dosbox-0.74-3.conf' mount C D:\ C:\ SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 PATH Z:\;C:\COMMAND CD \FORTH\DX MIXER SB 75:75 /NOSHOW TURBOKEY D 1 Not sure what the MIXER command did - maybe volume. Generating midi notes from DX-Forth would require a DOS BAT file - first generate the MID file, then invoke the utility above to play it. Probably it can all be done within forth as there's a SHELL command. Wow - I've almost incentivised myself to do it. You need to stop that :)
