I don't know how intrepid I am, but I have written some script-to-binary 
MIDI translation routines for Runtime Revolution.  Note that at this 
time these are used in static, or "step-time" MIDI event entry (via a 
custom GUI), and do not access MIDI data external to RunRev (file or 
stream).  However, MIDI files thus produced are compatible with the 
Standard MIDI 1.0 spec. and can be "played" by MIDI sequencers and 
devices. Once we have these routines incorporated into RunRev, I'll post 
an announcement to this list as well.
