I confused this issue myself, the file formats I'm looking for the DTD for
don't have a .mid extension (at least I don't think so). I believe their
extensions are .midnam and .middev.
This is difficult for me because I don't currently have DP installed an,
thus, don't have any of these files for reference. DP should be arriving
soon and I'm trying to get prepared for it's arrival.
Sorry for the confusion.
