NAME
dim - disassemble midi files

SYNOPSIS
dim [ -d ] [ -s ] [ -q ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
dim disassembles a standard midi file into readable/editable text. dim prefers the file suffix ".mid" -- it will supply it if a file by the name given on the command line cannot be found. Its output is to stdout.

There are the following options for dim:

-d  displays times as deltas from the time of the last midi event. A keyword "DELTA" is placed in the header line in the disassembly.

-s  displays times in seconds and factions instead of midi ticks; the format is "<seconds>.<centiseconds>.<16nths of a centisecond>".

-q  suppresses note-on and note-off output lines.

AUTHORS
The code for dim is an elaboration of the program mftext by Tim Thompson, ...twitch!glimmer!tjt, who also wrote the first version of the library functions in midifile.c, which were elaborated for midi file output by M. Czeiszperger.
The rest is by Greg Lee, lee@Hawaii.edu.
