*************************************************************************

* MIDISPEC Package *
* *
* The following series of plain text files are the contents of the *
* MIDISPEC PACKAGE. They are a reference resource compiled from several *
* sources, mostly by Greg at LEE@UHCCUX. The Primer, originally written *
* by Bob McQueer, is in constant revision. The other files are subject *
* to periodic review and update. The package as a whole may be added to *
* as MIDI expands. *
* *
* They have been placed here to make it possible for users to retrieve *
* or subscribe to the whole set of documents as a "package" so as to *
* automatically get the updated documentation when it is made *
* available. Access to the complete package is possible via GET *
* MIDISPEC PACKAGE. *
* *
* You can subscribe to it with: AFD ADD MIDISPEC PACKAGE (note that you *
* will need to use the PW command to define yourself a password before *
* you can use the AFD command -- see LISTAFD MEMO for more details). *
* If you wish to only be informed when the files are updated, use the *
* FUI ADD MIDISPEC PACKAGE command. *
