I think eloader works in wine. Not 100% sure, give it a try and lmk
I believe the song dump format is part of the midi specs. I wasn't able to find the discussion in the archives. Also, do a dump to e-loader and monitor/capture the conversation. I know I did it ages ago, and even dissected the song packet header. The packets may have been sequentially numbered.
I am tired, but I will see if I can duplicate the dump capture.

But the machine just passed its 15 year mark, so at some point it';s going to kick the dust and I'm going to have to find another solution. So I thought I'd start thinking about it will the old machine is still working, rather than later.
