This is old in the sense that it has been a while since I wrote it. But 
it is virtually bug free, so nothing much is happening.

The midi standard does not change so there is no real reason to 
change/upgrade it.

It is currently being used by the very popular "frets on fire"

http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/documentation/source/


It does not have real time support even though I did write it with that 
support in mind. I just never got around to write it as I did not need 
it myself.


I also developed it on Windows and I found it to be a bore to get real 
time midi working.

It would probably be easier now that I am on Linux.


Well I just thought I would mention that it is not dead. Merely middle aged.
