    Better idea, that opening is a clip of an actual jazz piece/song, so 
why not find out its name (or composer) and find the ORIGINAL. I'm sure 
the entire unbridged song is available on CD album, or an MP3. I really 
doubt it was composed specially for the 1986 IIgs dealer demo. :)

    I did the same for the opening music in PBI's Sea Strike. Years later I
found it is called "Festive Overture" by Dmitri Shostakovich. Kind of cool
to hear the original CD version, in full quality and stereo (and more, the
continuation of the song!). Still no clue what piece was used for their
Tower of Myraglen game. Hmm...

    I have it here, it's an 83K application called "Futuresound". It has the
record and editing options you need, also on the disk is an application
called "Jukebox" and 5 digitized sound clips from TV show openings.
Got it  20 years ago, it was really the first time I got to hear (and tinker
with!) clear digital audio on a computer. Don't own a Futuresound card
(not yet anyway), but I kept the software.
