MIDIGate can be used either as a stand-alone MIDI player or as
a Web browser helper application.
- MidiGate will start PLAYING as soon as given a filename argument.
- MidiGate's Queue allows you to click many .mid file links,
  as fast as your winsock allows: they will all be entered in the
queue.
  There's no need to wait for one file to complete downloading
  before clicking to download another file.
- Use the Save As function before you exit your browser though:
  Otherwise the files (usually downloaded in your Temp directory)
  will be deleted by the exiting browser before they have a
  chance to be played!
- Seek feature by pointing to the gauge

Click the "Hint" key in the About form to get an idea...

You should tell your browser that MidiGate should be invoked
whenever a Mime = Audio/Midi (or whatever your server sends)
file is received.
MidiGate will automatically play a MIDI sequence when:
        1) the browser receives a file with a Mime=Midi header
        2) it is given a filename as an argument;
otherwise, it will present a directory and file list to choose
a sequence interactively.

In case (1) and (2), the sequence will be played even if the file
received or given has an extension <> ".mid" - which does happen!
The program will queue itself in if a sequence is received/given
before another one has finished playing. At the end of play,
the program automatically terminates, unless you defeat that
function by clicking the checkbox at the end of the gauge.

Finally, although the program is automatically reduced to an
icon at start up, it can be restored if one wishes to see or
control the status of the player.

Installation Note: The Installation Kit file is MIDIGAT_.EXE.
The actual executable file is MIDIGATE.EXE. Once you've
run MIDIGAT_.EXE once (to install and create MIDIGATE.EXE)
you may want to delete MIDIGAT_.EXE to save disk space.
