Subject: cpu music
Well, the main difference is the way the tracks work. Lets say we have
a four track MIDI and a 4 track MOD with two instruments. The tracks
will work like this (and I hope you use a fixed width font :) ).
MIDI:
 Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4  Instrument 1 = I1
|  I1   |  I2   |  I2   |  I1   |            2 = I2
| C D E | A G F | B A D | E D F |
Each track can use one instrument (at a time), and have multiple notes.
MOD:
 Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4  Instrument 1 = I1
| I1-C  | I2-A  | I2-G  | I1-A  |            2 = I2
| I2-D  | I1-E  | I2-G  | I1-G  |
Each track can use one instrument, but can have only one note.
Now that I'm done I probably could have done this without the diagram.
Oh well. :)

assistant: Hello.
The listing in the Zone 1 EchoList for this echo has expired.  The Zone 1
Backbone only carries echoes listed in the Zone 1 EchoList, so it will be
necessary for someone to assume the moderatorship and list it if it is to
remain on the Zone 1 Backbone.  There is a three month grace period to
accomplish this.
During the first month only the old moderator can list the echo.  After this,
anyone can list it.  If the old moderator is gone, then perhaps now is a good
time to hold an election to choose a new one.
For more information please consult these files:  BOFAQxxx.TXT and
ELISTxxx.ZIP, where "xxx" is the version number.  They are available from
most hubs or can be requested from 1:1/200, 1:1/201, 1:283/120 or 1:396/1.
