Sounds good, Rory.

You are quite right; I do distribute necessary binaries (from 5.06) with my 
Lettuce executables. So, probably I was being somewhat alarmist.

Still, I - as a user - would plead that developers think long and deeply 
about the practical advantages of keeping their products backward (and 
sideways) compatible. IMO, if it *can* be done, it should be - even at the 
cost of considerable effort.

Such effort should be evaluated as against the frustration and confusion of 
composers and other *potential* Csound users. Such complications just chase 
people away, and cause others (such as myself) to rant and throw up our 
hands.

Hopefully, you don't need to be a Csound techie to use the language well.

I'll try to update the Lettuce page to reflect this. As I've mentioned
before on this list I lost a lot of the Lettuce source code which has
prevented me from updating to later version of the API. As far as I'm
aware Art you've been distributing your standalones with the necessary
Csound binaries so they should still run fine. I'm also working on I
intend to make all Lettuce app compatible with my latest toolkit too
so once that's out there you can simple rebuild them.

Rory.
