Please ask in <news:comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32or one of the
microsoft.public.* groups. Standard C by itself has no concept of audio
other than the '\a' escape sequence. You'll have to use a platform
specific library or API.

Also a web search turns up these two links that might help you.

<http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/winapi.htm>
<http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/progs/software.htm>

The first link is a tutorial for Windows MIDI and digital audio and the
second link contains software for this. See the "Developer's software"
section at the second link.

Decoding the midi file and then play it by directly interfacing with
speakers using inportb() function in conio.h or sound() function in
dos.h.

is it possible or not and if possible then HOW TO DECODE MIDI FILE ?

It is possible using MSDOS.

It is NOT possible using windows XP or above.

It is NOT possible using any 32 bit system.

Can you tell me how ?
I am using MS DOS i.e Turbo C++ 3.0 which is a DOS based C/C++
compiler.

Of course I am speaking about using inportb and outportb

Search the Net for pre-existing libraries for this. They are available
for most systems, including DOS, Windows and UNIX. However you may have
additional trouble under DOS. As jacob said, decoding MIDI files
yourself may be a tedious task and if you knew how to do that, you
wouldn't be asking here in the first place.
