Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Steve,
I decided to spend more time on playing my instruments than writing buggy software for them. So I think there is no chance for collaboration. But I'm glad to hear that you are going to write some midi stuff. You should consider writing a GUI, the commandline is just out of date! 
My tipp: Use crossplatform libraries and your programs will compile on windows, linux and in most cases even on mac. My favorites are:
-MIDIIO libs (manages all you midi input/output)  http://midiio.sapp.org/
-Improv (the same as MIDIIO with additional features)
-QT : library for GUI's . QT is a lot easier to program than f.e. Microsoft's MFC. QT programs will run on Windows and LINUX!!! www.trolltech.com
-WxWindows: another library for GUI, also multiplatform (linux, win, mac),
I don't know much about it, but it seams to be very recommandable.

Alway keep in mind: I'm no professional programmer and have only very basic 
konwledge about c++ and the librarys i mentioned above. So I'm not particular useful for your demand's. If you have questions, read the doc's of QT, they tell you everything about GUI programming.
Good luck!!
Daniel

  Daniel,

  The following is an excerpt from a post I placed on another board.  
  Note paragraph 2.  Any possibility of collaboration on software?  If 
  not, perhaps I can tap into your Windows programming expertise.  
  (BTW, I just dug out my old Pascal and C++ programs--circa 1991/1992!)

  ==================================
  I am trying to get back into midi programming with a mind towards 
  writing some nifty utilities . . . . Perhaps my first test will be a 
  program to get, save, load, and put banks of multisetups. (I've done 
  assembly langauge midi bulk data dump programming for the Commodore 
  64 and for MS-DOS.

  I don't know if I want to tackle a Windows User inteface. So I'll 
  either do it an MS-DOS utility or try to find someone who does 
  Windows. (Sorry, no Mac.)

  Dr. Steve
