Re: Midi2ly work for Windows?

[Hugh Myers]

For windows(or dos for that matter) to 'know' what midi2ly(I presume
an .exe file) is you have to either be in the same directory or the
file has to be in a directory that dos knows about--- one of the
directories shown when you type path at the command line. For
instance:

C:\Users\hsmyers>path
PATH=C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin;C:\Program
Files\PHP\;C:\Program Files\ActiveState Komodo IDE 4.2\;C:\Perl\site\b
in;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;c:\Program Files\Microsoft
SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\L
ilyPond\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin;C:\Program

es\ActiveState Komodo IDE
4.2\;C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Progra
m Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Roxio Shared\9.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Commo
n Files\Adobe\AGL;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server
5.0\bin;C:\Program
 Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin

C:\Users\hsmyers>

If say, you had C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin in your path
statement and you had midi2ly.exe in that directory then everything
should work.
