No, sorry. I don't have an emu10k1/SBLive, and I have very little spare time
to work in more projects.

And although I've advocated for Pascal, I don't think it is a good idea in
this case to port this code. This program is based on several libraries
property of Creative Labs, and shipped with the windows software for his
SBLive card: SFEDT32.DLL, which allows soundfont edition, and SFMAN32.DLL
which also manages soundfonts, I guess. I've seen more library references in
the code: MYOKENT.DLL and EAPSMAN.DLL among others. Megafont itself seems to
be a GUI front-end for the real engines, and a few more. It is a smart
front-end, though, which implements a handy way to manage soundfonts. Think
of it as something like QSynth for FluidSynth.

Pedro
