Michael,

On a related note, I can't get 5.09 (float installer) to compile for me. 
(This was a "straight out of the box" install - environment variables for 
all users, no Python.)

I get:
Reading options from $CSOUNDRC: C:\Csound5.09\.csoundrc
WARNING: could not open library 'C:\Csound5.09\plugins\rtpa.dll' (-1)
WARNING: could not open library 'C:\Csound5.09\plugins\csnd.dll' (-1)
WARNING: could not open library 'C:\Csound5.09\plugins\fluidOpcodes.dll' 
(-1)
WARNING: could not open library 'C:\Csound5.09\plugins\pa.dll' (-1)

followed by:
Error: Unknown rtaudio module: 'pa'

I did try copying and renaming rtpa.dll to pa.dll - no effect.

BTW, pan2.dll *is* there; only it has been renamed cs_pan2.dll and I hadn't 
identified it. Sorry about that.
