TiMidity is originally an UNIX program. It plays MIDI files 
entirely in software (except for the final output, of 
course) and plays with a much higher quality then the FM 
system, that many sound cards have. It's quality is 
equivalent to a wave-table MIDI system, if not a bit better. 

I orginally ported TiMidity as a stand alone executable with 
both a text-based and PM-based interface that used DART for 
output. 

I have now released TiMidity MCD. It is a .DLL version of 
TiMidity that interfaces with MMOS/2 as a Media Control 
Device which allows any OS/2 program that plays MIDIs 
through MMOS/2 can use TiMidity. This means the Multimedia 
objects and the Netscape Plug-in-Pack can can now use 
TiMidity. Applcations that use RT-MIDI cannot use TiMidity 
MCD because they go through a different layer of MMOS/2.

TiMidity MCD works but is not quite finished. It is not 
based on the TiMidity++ code base so it doesn't have any of 
its new features. While it works with the MIDI "Play" and 
"Player", it does not work with the "Editor". It generates a 
log file on the root of your C: drive. It can only read the 
timidity.cfg file from the C:\TIMIDITY directory. It doesn't 
have very much error handling. There's no way to configure 
most of the things you could normally configure with command 
line options. Furthermore, my ability to work on these 
things will be sporadic at best. If you want to work on some 
of these things, feel free.

You can get more information and download it from my website
