Disklavier

Thank you once again Robert!  I had stored some .YDF files on my hard drive
of the computer I use all the time but not the one I run Giebler.  Once I
copied those .YDF files to the hard drive of my Windows 3.1 computer and ran
Giebler, everything worked out fine and I created a Yamaha disk.

It is interesting, though, that ESEQ2MID sees a .fil file, but not a .YDF
file.  It just shows that you need to choose which software you are going to
use to backup your Yamaha disks, as the dkvutils and Giebler are not
compatable.

Apparently, if you copy .YDF files from a hard drive to a floppy disk, then
copy them back to your hard drive using Giebler, Giebler sees them as QX3
files.
