I've also wanted to distribute a SoundFont with Swami. It would seem to
make things a lot nicer for one who is just getting started with
SoundFonts and doesn't know what they are, etc. I even thought it would
be cool to have a startup sequence with the Splash image :)
A small GM soundfont.. Hmmm. Seems like even a lot of the big ones
aren't very nice. Too bad one couldn't distribute some of the ROMs that
came with the AWE 32/64. 512k and they sounded decent.


Cheers.
