Tvdog and I have created a new program to convert Deskmate Music .SNG files
to .HDS text format which can then be played by my Instrument
simulator/player (see link below) through your soundcard, using rich grand
piano, or 127 other instruments. Hey, I'm a big fan of Tandy's 3-voice
sound, but it's no match for today's Soundcard Midi capabilities. You
really should hear these songs after they're converted, including the
original classical pieces that were included with Deskmate:

Bach.sng (Two Part Invention in F Major by J. S. Bach)
Canon.sng (Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel)
Sonatina.sng (Sonatina in D (1st Movement) by Muzio Clementi)

plus all the classical, pop, and ragtime songs users created, like

The Entertainer
Maple Leaf rag
Bridge Over Troubled Waters

and many more.

The Deskmate .SNG to .HDS format converter is here:

The Instrument emulator/player is here:

Make sure you read the readme.txt for both programs before using them.

Here's a screenshot of the converter:
