I'm using CSound5 on Windows 2000.  I'm trying to use the
-L option to read score events from the command line, but
it doesn't seem to be working.  It looks like it compiles
the orchestra OK, then it prints:

...
orch now loaded
stdmode = 00000000 Linefd = 0
audio buffered in 4096 sample-frame blocks
PortAudio V19-devel
PortAudio: selected output device 'Microsoft Sound Mapper
- Output'
writing 8192-byte blks of shorts to dac
SECTION 1:
ftable 1:
ftable 2:

At this point it looks like I can start typing score
events.  But when I type a score event, it isn't even
echoed to the command window.

This is the command line I'm using:

csound32 -odac -Lstdin foscil.orc midi.sco

midi.sco just generates some wave tables and then waits
(Don't be fooled by the name, I'm not using MIDI):

f1  0 4096 10   1
f2  0 4096 10   1  .5 .333 .25 .2 .166 .142 .125 .111 .1
.09 .083 .076 .071 .066 .062

f0 3600

Any idea what's wrong here?  Do I need another command
line option or something?

thanks,

Shawn

Bummer - I was afraid that might be the case.
