	Hi Conrad,
	Sorry I missed your message.  I just did a checkout and then
cd /top level of source/
bunzip2 -c ~/midi2-patch-aug22.diff.bz2  | patch -p0

	And it worked out for me.  Maybe your aren't using the -p0
(I'm not sure what the problem is).

	Please try again, and let me know.  I'm leaving to go
camping for a few days so I might take some time for a reply.

	--Mat
