This directory contains useful C code which "sorta" works. That is, 
it all "worked" once, and probably still does, but they've been less 
tested than the main 'ftap' code.  Except for 'midicopy', use at your own risk.

NOTE: these programs all require a raw MIDI device named "/dev/midi";
no override is available.

midicopy: A simple diagnostic program to verify that your MIDI input and output
are working under Linux. This is also useful for seeing what kind of MIDI
data your keyboard puts out. This should work fine.

playftap: A potentially very useful program for playing FTAP files. It 
should work, but is not well documented, and it deserves a major rewrite 
(for various reasons).

python: A copy of a Python script (provided in  the Reference Manual) which I
have used for running FTAP experiments.

gettod_test: a  Linux performance test. This is the code used in Finney, 
2001b, BRM: ``Real-time Data Collection in Linux: A Case Study". If you
don't believe it's easy to get millisecond "real-time" in Linux, run
this code.
