Hi R.D., As far as I know, there are versions of Cecilia on both Linux and Windows and have been for quite a long while. Running Cecilia was actually one of the reasons I first got into Linux in 1998/1999. A windows port was done by Bill Beck and reviewed in Electronic Musician a few years ago as well. The older ports still continue to run just fine (I have had Cecilia on my Linux computer for the past 6 years). Considering that Professor Piche still works on Cecilia and gives out the program for free, the source is freely accessible as it is interpreted, there are older ports still existent, and that Professor Piche has already noted that there are plans to bring the current work to multiple platforms in 3.0, I'm not sure what limitiations there are here except that the current version hasn't gotten around to being worked for mutliple platforms. BTW: As you may well know, It's not trivial to make cross platform projects, and for many it's not very rewarding for the time spent unless the person coding happens to work on multiple platforms themselves or receives some sort of other compensation for their time. It's much easier when others are collaborating to bring software to their own platform too. Just my two cents on the topic, steven On 20 Dec 2005 23:19:43 -0500, R. D.
