You mean how to read a zip or floppy AND how to read the file  
format ?;-)

  Opcode's universal editor/librarian app was called Galaxy... unless  
of course it was some DX exclusive earlier app I don't remember.  I'm  
sure some people still have it running, I did not that many years  
ago. Perhaps someone on the DAW Mac yahoogroup has it. Unless it's a  
large number of files thus making the effort to crack the format a  
faster process, it's probably easier to someone with Galaxy to do you  
the favor of opening and transmitting your banks while re-capturing  
them as a .MID file or .SYX file that a lot of current utilities can  
open. It should even work without a DX, all you need is someone with  
Galaxy and enough MIDI ability to capture the MIDI output of the app.
