MIDCOMPR 1.2

Compresses standard midi files, results are still standard midi files with same musical content! MIDCOMPR is a simple command line tool designed to help you compresses standard midi files, results are still standard midi files with same musical content!
Midifiles can be compressed by using the standard midi feature called "Running Status". A status byte can be ommitted if it is repeatly used
in a series of commands (always identical status, maybe different
parameters). This program only compresses running status of NoteOn and NoteOff commands because some midi players cannot handle running status of other events (but it is allowed by midi standard). To prevent from loss of data it does not convert NoteOff to NoteOn commands with velocity 0.
