I just discovered that the -n (no sound to disk) and -I (Init-time only)
options do not appear to be working correctly under Csound 5.  -I causes a
sound file with header only to be created and -n results in a complete sound
file (with all of the audio it wasn't supposed to write).

Under Csound 4, both of these options never even opened the soundfile with
the specified name.  So, with Csound 5 they cause an existing file with that
name to be overwritten.

I can look into solving this issue, but I suspect that it will be fixed
before I can even find out what's wrong ...   ;)

Under Csound 4, the -n option took precedence over -o, even when the -o came
later in the option list.  I was not aware that the situation had changed,
thus it created a "bug" in my front end.

I will adjust the Mac front end to the new behavior.  Other front end
authors may wish to check their code as well!

THanks for looking into the -I problem.
