I got it from two independent sources - the Yamaha site that is linked
from in Carol's pianosmart guide, and also from Bill Brandom
(bbrandom@...) who emailed me when I first said I was having
problems. I can email you the files he sent, but they were the same as the
ones on the website.

I _think_ I had problems playing back normal general midi files too, but
I'm not sure, I would have to check again after performing the upgrade.
PianoSmart appeared to work fine though with the title I bought from the
Yamaha website (except I had to buy a different copy of the CD for the
disk I bought - mine had a "bonus track" on it which confused things).

Regards,

James
