I have a programming question, but it also deals with music. Does anyone know a way to call a C program from AMigaBasic ? I don't want to call a library routine, but instead call a program as a subroutine. I am trying to use Bill Barton's Midi utilities to write a patch editor/ librarian for the DX27. He has routines that send and transmit system exclusive files. I want to find a way to access those files (easy eno [Denough) and more importantly call Barton's routines from my Basic program. The routines are on Fish disk 101. From AmigaDos they are called by STX (filename) or RTX (filename). Is there some way I can make a similar call from within a Basic Program? I hope someone out there has a suggestion. Thanks…
