UQLX_MIDI_PLAYER21_BAS

This is a version of Al Boehm's SuperBASIC player
for General MIDI files which uses direct access
to /dev/midi from the UQLX Qdos emulator, rather
than the DIY MIDI extensions I wrote for NESQLUG.

It requires a Unix/Linux system with /dev/midi or
equivalent and a MIDI synthesiser connected to the
associated output port (/dev/midi00 by default).

Note:

Use TIMING_CODE (DIY Toolkit volume T) rather
than MIDI2x_CODE. Also uses TK2 and TURBO_TK,
so use TK2_EXT (or equivalent for your system)
then:

LRESPR TURBO_TK_CODE
LRESPR TIMING_CODE
LRUN UQLX_MIDI_PLAYER21_BAS

The original BOOT program is not needed as
the relevant variables are set directly in
lines 900-980 and UQLX is fast enough on most
platforms not to need a compiled player.

Thanks to Al Boehm, NESQLUG, Dave Westbury
and Richard Zidlicky for development help.
