Ahh!  Thank you.  May I suggest a better error message?

I put in my standard.bnk and now all my ROLs play fine.  This is 
wonderful.  And it seems to sound exactly like my old adlib card, if my 
memory of about 15 years ago is working well.

This is so much fun.  Is there a way to write new music in the ROL 
format on something like a Mac?  For instance, something like the 
Visual Composer?  Or perhaps a way to get something modern, like Logic 
to talk to adplug?  What about an instrument editor?
