    I think this question should be included in the next revision of the 
comp.sys.apple2 FAQ list... ;-)  What kind of system do you have, i.e.: hard 
drive, one-floppy, or two-floppy setup?  The system disk MUST be online when 
SoundSmith goes looking for the tools.  Otherwise it crashes (this is a 
fault on Huibert Aalbers' part).  That means it won't work on a 
single-floppy system unless you copy the program disk onto a RAM disk.  Make 
sure you have all the required tools in your System folder as well.  In 
particular, the MIDI toolset (the number escapes me at the moment; hopefully 
somebody else will remind me).
