| The VIAD2 file should play with the new 4.3.1 version as long as you have unpacked the VIAD2.w file in the same place.

 I assume you unpacked the files directly into a volume rather than into a
 subdrawer? The code in mtpng that tries to get the path where the file is only
 stops at a '/' character and not ':'.

| my quest to hunt down appleII guys to find out about this .w file continues.. the email on ians homepage bounces.. i found an irc channel with a guy that knew
 him, but haven't spoken to him for 18 years :D
 
 he had this to say about the .w file, that confirms my suspicions:
 
 Oh, in that context, it's the wavs for the audio, instruments.
 The other is the sequence.
 Probably either has a header, with lenghts of
 each instrument or they each take a specific length.

| i searched the net to try to find out if this might be an archive with samples. this is all i found so far:
 "Unknown Apple II File (found on Golden Orchard Apple II CD Rom)"
 I will write the author of the player and ask.

| it fails to play this tune among others: http://home.cfl.rr.com/ischmidt/songs/viad2.zip
 
 the tune consists of two file:
 
 VIAD2
 VIAD2.W
 
 The .W file seems to be the samples. mtpng can't find them. This is how the
 shell output looks:
