Hi Flo. I take back all I said about sheer fantasy. I just ran, 
evolution-usb-midi.pdf. Only 25.3KB. CLI said. Playing raw data 'stdin'  : 
Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000Hz, Mono. It sounded like very, very heavy metal 
guitars, with lots of distortion. A lot like the sort of stuff John Peel was 
playing during his thrash period. It only ran for about 2 secs. I;ll have to 
try a bigger .pdf. This is getting very interesting. Creating music (cough) 
from the written word. Nigel. aka mekon, and all the other sci-fi guys.
