SMUS is the lowest-common-denominator of most existing Amiga music packages. Even though many packages have found SMUS too simple for their needs, they do provide the option of loading SMUS and saving as SMUS. This allows inter-application transportability of at least the instrumentation and score. So yes. Even if you find you must use your own format, or add chunks to SMUS, please allow the option to load/save SMUS. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
