Originally I thought about using a hex editor too. That is, until I realized that there were dozens of subsongs in each of the 17 XMI files 🤣. After I used the utility to extract them all, there was somewhere around 175 resulting MIDI files. Although, MANY of them were byte-for-byte duplicates.

I found a utility that seems to work! The utility will extract and convert all of the subsongs in a single XMI file to separate MIDI files :) Note that the FULL path must be entered for filename of the XMI file (even if the XMI file is in the same folder as the utility), or otherwise the utility …

Does anyone know of a utility that can convert an XMI format music file that has numerous subsongs contained in it to seperate MIDI files of all of the subsongs? I have extracted the XMI format music files from Star Trek: Judgment Rites, and they all have numerous subsongs contained in each of the …

Maybe this will help you all: This is my bootable disk image of MS-DOS v6.22; along with Windows 3.1, Win32s, Wing, Sound Blaster drivers, and Tower installed; as well as the DOSBox.conf file that I use. REMOVED

I didn't add anything to the SYSTEM.INI file. I'm using the standard release of DOSBox, no special builds.

BTW, side question about mounted hard disk images in DOSBox: For the hell of it I ran Scandisk, and it reported lost clusters in the mounted/booted hard disk image. Note that I didn't let Scandisk fix them, but is it safe/recommended to let Scandisk fix errors that it finds in a hard disk image? …

Yes, it's definitely one of a kind (just like Tracon/Tracon II/ATC for DOS and Windows) :) Wesson International really made some nice software products, and back in the day all of the above mentioned sims (including Tower) were used for real-world controller training. Yeah, Tower could connect to …

P.S. A quick side note (a strange thing): Tower actually has the exact same issues when trying to run it under Windows 10 that I described in my post above with the screenshots (two posts above)... the "Error reading airport information" error message, and then a CTD when trying to start a scenario. …

(Update) I tried a bootable hard disk image for DOSBox of Tower. It includes a pre-installed version of MS-DOS v6.22, Windows 3.1 (with an S3 854 SVGA video driver installed, and W31 SB16 sound card drivers), and Tower. Tower actually starts and runs when ran like this, in a bootable hard disk image …

If it's known to work in enhanced-mode Win3 with Win32s (which only supports a subset of the Win32 API) then try the cputype=486_slow or cputype=pentium_slow setting in DOSBox, and maybe memsize=31 if it's from the late 90's. Many thanks for the help, but it still does the same thing. I already had …

It will probably work without problems in situations where there is only single-user access to files . File corruption can occur in multi-user situations because the guards to prevent it are absent. It's easy to imagine situations where multi-user access occurs on shared network folders, but keep …

One thing that I hadn't tried yet though, I'll have to give that a test as well: ATC Workshop comes with a database import utility to import new airports and navigation aids data into the database... that would also be written to the FSFSDB.MDB and FSFSLOCK.MDA files I'm sure. I've done a bit for …
