: 	GS/OS recognizes filetype '$D7' as a MIDI sequence. There's no need
: to change the Auxilary filetype, you can leave that set to the default '$0000'.
: As far as changing it, quite a few commercial and public-domain programs will
: do this. One is ProTERM 3.x, just select the "Set File Info" from the 'File'
: pull-down menu. Then there's "UtilityWorks GS" (anyone have the latest version
: btw?) that will do this as one of it's many options, it's shareware. Another
: good one is "FAZ II - File Attribute Zapper" that runs under ProDOS 8 and
: using a scrolling menu, displays all possible filetypes for you to choose from.
: This is probably the best of the three, as you can look up the filetype you want
: (MIDI, AppleWorks, PaintWorks, SYS, S16, etc) and it sets it for you. It's
: probably a bit behind in the latest assigned filetypes and aux-types, but still
: useful. It's public-domain and should be available via FTP sites, if not I'll
: send up my copy.

: 	Speaking of MIDI programs, I stumbled across a gem while digging 
: through rubbish! Dr.Tom (of 1WSW) uploaded his usual load of garbage to
: the Caltech FTP site a few weeks back, though I managed to have a peek at
: it before it was deleted. Seems in all that sector-edit junk, an untouched
: beta MIDI conversion program was lurking. It converts both standard MIDI
: and Diversi-Tune files into synthLAB sequences, even separates each channel
: to it's own track. What's so great about it is, it converts them *INSTANTLY*,
: there's less than a second's wait time. And to top it all off, it doesn't care
: about filetypes, saving you the hassle of changing them! :) This is _not_ 
: written or associated with Dr.Tom or 1WSW, just something he seemed to have
: stolen and tossed in (like that other gem, the Phasor/ALF emulator I found
: for the Ensoniq chip! :) The program is simply called "MIDI Convertor 0.7".
: I'll post it to the binaries shortly. It's by far the fastest and best 
: convertor I've tried to date! And yes, from my tests, it converts MIDI
: and Diversi-Tune songs flawlessly...
