Well, I got some good news today in the mail.  My sequencer of choice in
Windows just got an upgrade;  it now supports Patch-Caching and Bank Select!
I know Cakewalk Pro supported at least patch-caching long ago, but Master
Tracks Pro hooked me to its interface way back over 5 years ago on my 
friend's Macintosh.  (I now have a PC, an old GUS 2.2, and a Roland D-10).
Here's the rest of the upgrade newsletter for those that are interested:

	* Multi-Port Support
	* New Velocity Window
	* New Transport
	* Master Fader
	* Patch-Caching
	* Bank Select: Access additional banks of instruments in your synth
	* Ghost Notes: Dissplay note data in controller windows
	* Improved Step Editor: Now with snap-to-grid, velocity tails,
	  step entry velocities, and program change well
	* Enlarged Counter: View time and measure information from across
	  the room
	* Lock Tracks: Prevents selected tracks from being affected by
	  transpose operations
	* Explode Type 0 MIDI Files Automatically
	* New Hot Keys
	* New Slide Data and Thin Notes Commands

The upgrade price for registered users is $79.  It doesn't say anything about
the full price for new buyers.  Call Passport at 1-800-443-3210 for any info.

I think there is a demo somewhere of an older version of Master Tracks Pro.
Either on oak.oakland.edu or ftp.cica.indiana.edu -- I'll look it up if
anyone's interested.  The demo did not support patch caching, so keep
Patch Manager handy if you seek it out.

Also, if anyone gets this upgrade before I do, let us all know how well
the patch-caching works!

Subject: Mouse Woes Solved (maybe)

I think ULTRINIT (newer versions) have something to do with the vanishing
mouse in windows. I have tested it, and seems to be the problem.

If I run ULTRINIT at boot-up, and do nothing in DOS, and start windows, my
mouse is there, and then it vanishes. If I exit, and restart windows, my
mouse is fine.

If I rem out ULTRINIT, and do same, my mouse doesn't vanish.

In DOS, if I do stuff with the GUS (depends on program), sometimes my mouse
vanishes, and sometimes it don't. I think this has to do with a 'funky'
init thingy with ULTRINIT. 

Is there any other GUS Init programs that I can try? Maybe someone can make
a cheap init program, using the ULTRASND setting, so we can test this
further.

Obvisouly, some init routines in mod players, demos, etc work fine. There
should be option on some of these just to init, and exit <G>

I contacted tech@gravis about this possible problem already.

So, think this is a good hypothesis?
