saROMan, pat yourself. I have so far not found such a comprehensive post as an answer to someone's problem. Great work man!! 
I will derive some benefit from your post
BTW, I have a software on a CD which contains a piano like software and you can make (and play) MIDI files with this. Its a very old software, made in Windows 3.1 days. But I don't know if I can just copy and give it to people.
