Disklavier

Sheldon's warning is true.  Pay close attention to the caveats on 
Giebler's Web page:

"All programs run under MS-DOS on IBM PC-XT, PC-AT, or compatibles with 
a hard disk drive and a 3 1/2" floppy disk drive. Most programs may be 
run under an MS-DOS shell under Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 or 
Windows ME."

You may have to keep an antique computer around to use the Giebler 
program.  E-SEQ is sort of an antique too, isn't it?
