     SOME HISTORY, AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS UTILITY IN THE BIG PICTURE
     ----------------------------------------------------------------

Cakewalk Professional, first released in December, 1988, has always had the
ability to import and export Standard MIDI Files.  It was, we believe, the
first IBM sequencer to offer full import/export support for the new MIDI
File spec.

Pro happened to come out after the specification for MIDI Files was finally
approved.  We do not regard MIDI Files as exclusively a "pro" feature, but a
new version of regular Cakewalk has not yet come out.

In the meantime, many of you have requested the capability to create MIDI
Files.  For instance, an ever-growing number of notation (scoring) programs
now accept MIDI Files.

To help, we have released this utility.  Just so you know, the next version
of regular Cakewalk will have the ability to read and write MIDI Files built
into the program itself.  We rarely make promises about future features;
we're making this one because we will absolutely keep it.

Until that day, we have released this utility to help users who wish to
create MIDI Files.....
