Am I correct that the latest version of Csound will not run 
correctly on WinXP?  I gather from here and there that WinXP is 
still widely in use, so I'm wondering why the creators of csound 
aren't still supporting it.  (Especially since everyone has such 
a bug about keeping it backward compatible with versions built 
originally for DOS!)  [Of course, if it IS able to run correctly 
on WinXP, that's great.  If not, some way of indicating that on 
Sourceforge would be helpful, so XP'ers won't waste time trying 
to make it work.)

Oh dear.  I only have XP

Then you might be able to build a package for XP.
