Subject[Cs-dev] New Csound 5 package for Win32
Can be downloaded from here:
   http://csound.sourceforge.net/csound5-2005-06-26.zip

This release includes the latest sources from CVS, HTML manual,
and Win32 binaries compiled to use both 32 and 64 bit floats.
The single precision executables and libraries are optimized
and use SSE instructions (and thus will not run on older machines),
and have all debug information stripped. On the other hand,
double precision binaries, while somewhat slower and use more
memory, will run on any i586 or newer CPU, and - with the exception
of widgets.dll - have debug information.
Stand-alone utilities are only available with 64 bit precision,
32 bit utilities can be run with 'csound32 -U utilname'.

The package can be installed by unzipping the file and setting
environment variables according to the installation directory.
For example, if the zip file is extracted to C:\, all installed
files will be in C:\csound5, and environment variables should be
set as follows:
   PATH=%PATH%;C:\csound5\bin
   OPCODEDIR=C:\csound5\lib
   OPCODEDIR64=C:\csound5\lib64
   CSOUNDRC=C:\csound5\.csoundrc

Default command line options (such as audio interface and buffer
sizes) can be set in the .csoundrc file.

Real time audio can either use PortAudio (built for DirectSound
interface), enabled with -+rtaudio=pa, or MME which can be selected
with -+rtaudio=mme. Only the latter does implement audio input and
full-duplex mode.
Support for real time MIDI and FLTK widgets is also included.
However, at least the following are not available:
   * PD object
   * ASIO
   * CsoundVST (including Python opcodes)
   * function table displays using FLTK
