It should not be to hard to find out.  This system has a Ensonic sound 
card which uses a sound API that is supposed to be similar to Microsoft, 
and a separate speaker that can be driven by Motif through standard 
calls.  So if your program can produce sound, I can probably find a way 
for it to use either method.

My system is licensed under the OpenVMS hobbyist program which means 
that I can not get paid for any work I do on it.

But it does not put any restrictions on what others may do with 
information discovered in doing the port, nor does it require that code 
developed on it become "Open Source".

I also have an optimizing ANSI C Compiler.

Unfortunately my broadband supplier will not allow me to offer remote 
access to this system.  I can ftp files from a site though.

But if you are willing to give it a try.  Keep in mind that I know 
almost nothing of Music composition.

I answered you e-mail, and it did not bounce, but with the state of 
e-mail today, that does not mean anything.
