I tested PortMIDI on Windows. It doesn't quite work for me -- almost, but 
not quite. What happens is that the port opens and receives events, but the 
note off events seem to be skipped, and every time I press a key, it just 
repeats the previous note. The regular MIDI code still works on Windows, but 
of course I would greatly prefer PortMIDI, not least because you can stop 
Csound without crashing it with PortMIDI.

I should add that I tested with the midiinterop opcodes, since all my MIDI 
scos and orcs use those opcodes. If someone has a regular csd or sco and orc 
for testing MIDI performance, send it to me and I will try it.

What I test with the CsoundMidi.csd in the CVS examples directory.

Was that using the version I checked in last night or an earlier one?
