Love the magazine... life has taken on a brighter meaning - it looks like 
my Falcon will be supported for a year or two yet, I really do dislike the 
soulless PC - maybe because I sometimes have to use them 12 hours a day at 
work!

I'm trying to locate a track down a couple of programs and wonder if you 
or other readers can help. The first probably doesn't exist, I'm looking 
for software which can read and play the "abc" music notation language. 
There are loads of files in this format out on the web and I'd like to 
make use of them.

The second item does exist - I even own a copy somewhere in my disks and 
CDs but I just can't find it! I think it was called "Fontlist". If I 
remember correctly, on launching the program and directing it at a folder 
of fonts it churn through the entire directory printing out the name of 
the font followed by a sample of the character set. Can anybody help?

We share your feelings about PCs but don't forget you can always bung an 
emulator on other machines. We're not aware of any software which supports 
the "abc" notation language so over to our readers on that one. I can 
offer one candidate to help catalogue your fonts. GDOS Check, part of the 
IdeaList package, but available separately does exactly what your mystery 
program does.
GDOS Check is available from most PD/Shareware libraries or via the 
InterActive webpages:
