Although, if there is open-source-licensed documentation on this for the various OS's, maybe the Csound tuts could just assimilate (and source) the info, as opposed to linking to it, or, as it is now, barely mentioning it. > I'd love to write a Csound manual that would do all this -- but for better > or worse, I'm a professional writer, and self-employed.

Definitely include Mike's tutorial; for those who aren't familiar with the commandline, the Csound5 GUI, Winsound, etc. are good choices. I haven't used it in a while, but there is also MacCsound, which I believe incorporates a pretty inclusive GUI. The only ones relatively left out are Unix/Linux users, and they can usually let themselves in. -Chuckk -- http://www.badmuthahubbard.com
