I came across a bunch of Midisoft Recording Session Version 1.07M
P/N: 557-0101-00 1.44 3.5 inch diskettes, all original and made by
Midisoft.  I purchased them at a surplus price.  I am not a dealer,
actually I D.J. on weekends and work for a university during the week in
the Audio Visual Department.  I am saying all this to show  that I am not
in the "selling" business.
This program, which comes on one 1.44 disk automatically creates music 
notation for any midi file opened.  It has over 500 tracks (I stopped 
at 503 tracks), each track has a seperate mixer on the bottom of the screen 
(if you want it there) that have the following adjustments: Chorus-reverb-
"lights" to show the tracks being played, pan-mute-solo-record-and the
ability to change instruments on each track.  There are many more features
also.  Also on top are pull down menus for doing just about anything you 
could want to do.  I did not try the record feature but it writes the music
notation as soon as you input the music from a keyboard or what-ever.  Of 
course this program has many editing features too.   
This program will probally not match many of the programs out there for 
$200.00 or more, but for the price of $5.00 which includes postage, handling 
and me personally testing the disk with Norton Disk Doctor before shipment, 
it will sure beat any Midi program out there selling for $50.00 or so.  
I am running this program under Windows 95 (it is a windows program) with no
problems (that I have yet noticed). It works fine.  I use a Turtlebeach 
Tropez sound card.  When you first access the program is asks: Channels
1-10 or channels 10-16 (for regular sound cards) or general midi Channels
1-16 (which you would use for general midi use).  
The disk has a date on it of Copywrite 1986-1992.   I do not know if this 
means that the program was written in 1992 or not.  I really believe that it
is newer than this because of the features that it has.
I have reciepts for these disks and as far as I know I can sell them like
other people sell software at a computer swap.  For $5.00, those on a
budget get a fully functional midi sequencer that instantly produces 
music notation.  Not bad.  
So far, so good.  By the way, the notes get highligted as they are played.
The only thing that this program does not do, as far as I can see, is print
the musical score (which I realize is very important to some people).
Their is no print command within the program.  I tried copying an entire
song and it made a duplicate file ok, but according to the instructions
the copying is supposed to go to the clipboard automatically but I didn't
see it there.  Could this be a Windows 95 incompatibility (spelling) problem?
Or maybe I'm just not doing it right.  Anyway, except for screen capturing, I
couldn't get the entire file to print.  
I am selling these as is.  I will replace defective disks, but will not
refund any money.  The disk is fully documented via the help menu which 
is has hypertext.  Requires about 3 megs of hard disk space.  I also includes
about a dozen full size midi songs.
The program has three screens, music notation, mixer, and a midi list,
(which shows other information by tracks).  The best way for me to use it 
is to have the music notation take about 3/4 of the screen and the bottom
1/4 give to the mixer.  This way you will have full control of whats playing
without needing to use any of the pull down menus.
If you do not have a program that shows music notation this program will very
interesting to you.  Whether you read music or not.  All the notes and chords
that are being played become highlighted as the music moves on, including the
drums section.  If you transpose a song, the musical score changes also, so 
you can learn music theory.
For $5.00 you get a fully functional midi sequencer with music notation, and
if you are a shareware user you don't have to worry about beg screens and
proudly display full ownership to this amazing program by having the original
disk.
I have about 75 of these disks with none found defective.  If I sell all 75 
f
these disks, after my paying all the postage and costs of the disks, I'll 
make $2.00 per disk or $150.00 total.  All this so I can buy that new Iomega 
Zip drive thats out, without begging my wife for money.
The things that we do for this hobby.
