It's been a long time, and I don't have the Midi File specs handy, but I
seem to remember that the only difference in file format between 0 and 1
is that 0 has only one track, and has a byte in the File header set to
indicate that is format 0 and not 1.
So, you should be able to merge all you tracks into one, and then go in
with a hex editor and change the appropriate byte (I seem to remember it
being in one of the first size bytes of the file)
Also, I'm sure the old "miditools" package includes a utility to do this.
