   Loading Midi files
  strange problem: how come that you may load (with the "LoadSegment" function of the DirectMusic samples) a particular Midi file (in this the prebabricated Canyon.mid - the sample.sgt as well) whereas another one would not work (passport.mdl - another prefab). - I thought that Midi Data should be loaded anyway, even if referred DSL files do not exist. Am I wrong?My hypotheses is that the object description does not fit.Another peculiarity I do not understand? What does the prefix L mean, like in L"Canyon.midHelp is deeply appreciated.  
  this is seems to be a very special, and known problem (since a net research gave some results).One of the suggestions there was that the "could not load segment" errormessage was a result of the directory path setting.Any idea?[edited by - MB on November 21, 2002 5:03:41 PM];  although this is monologuous, resolving the problem might be useful to others.So - I can confirm it now. When you use the dir_path in the DirectMusic samples the loading of segments may cause an error. If you comment these lines out and use the working directory instead, it runs fine.Strange,
