Hi there,

I've found some minor typos in the Csound manual. What's the best way for
me to deal with them? Just describe the mistakes or post patches to the
XML to the list? It's as easy for me to do the latter as the former.

Cheers
Gareth

Hi Andrés,

The most serious problem is a couple of broken hyperlinks in the
building.xml file - patch for that inlined below (if it doesn't come
through the mailer cleanly let me know).

I am working on improving the text in a couple of areas and you can decide
when I post that if you'd like to accept it or not - some of the edits are
more subjective or on style rather than being black and white errors.

Cheers
Gareth

     When building Csound from source instead of using a precompiled
package, you first need to obtain the sources for a release of Csound
at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/csound.
The source packages have either a zip or tar.gz extension.
   
   
     The latest (possibly unstable) Csound source code is also available
through the Concurrent Versions System (CVS). It's likely (if you're
running Mac OS X or Linux) that you already have CVS installed on
your machine. If not, it can be downloaded from (http://www.cvshome.org). There
are many graphical front ends for cvs, but you can easily get the
sources using the command line version.
   
   
-    The Csound CVS front page is located at: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=81968.
Information about accessing the CVS repository may be found in the
SourceForge document http://sourceforge.net/docs/E04/. To download Csound
sources using CVS, run the following commands (from a terminal or DOS
shell):
