	"The book (and thus the cd examples) predates the unified .csd format. This makes editing and looking at how the score and orchestra relate an enormous PITA. How long have we had .csd files now? Are we presuming folks know enough shell scripting or are willing to copy-paste .orc and .sco files together? The files on the CDs are sorted and named badly, and the html menus one is theoretically supposed to use in accessing them are mind-bending. I shouldn't need the book's table of contents or to open a text file just to know what's in said file." I have to say that I had liked the disk alot but I would organize it differently (and I did organise it differntly). I used author name and then the instrument as the file name and I had organized everything by instrument or effect. I would suggest doing one directory for real-time and then one for the others and then try to make the midi ones easy enough to use that the csoundvst users can them out befour they learn the language. I think some of the software or examples only works with certain versions of csound because of the api.
