This is probably obvious to some of you, but I just personally discovered a
shell trick.  I added "#!/usr/local/bin/csound" to the top of a csd file, a
"chmod 775 test.csd", and type "./test.csd" in the terminal, and it played
the file.  I was kinda surprised it worked.

Furthermore, when I tried "./test.csd -A -otest.aif" it overrode the
CsOptions and generated a file instead.  This makes me really happy.  Here's
my test code:

----
#!/usr/local/bin/csound



-g -odac


sr     = 44100
kr     = 4410
ksmps  = 10
nchnls = 1

instr 1
	kenv line 32768, p3, 0
	a1 oscil kenv, 440, 1
	out a1 
endin


f 1 0 8192 10 1
i 1 0 1


----

Best,
Jake

I didn't know about that, cool. Unfortunately this depends on a unified 
location of the executable, mine is in /usr/bin/csound. Not like 
/bin/bash which always sits exactly there...

Try:

   #!/usr/bin/env csound

The /usr/bin/env executable should *always* be in the same place and
it will find the csound executable as  long as it is on your $PATH.
