Can I assume that FLTK and MIDI in now work dependably(realtime) in Csound5
on MacOS?

Remember that everything that I am about to say concerns MacOS 7-9 only, not
MacOS X.

No.  FLTK will never work with the MacOS version of Csound.

There is currently no real-time Midi support either.  I probably have to
completely reimplement RT-Midi using Midishare or turn the existing OMS Midi
code into a Csound 5 plugin.   Either way, I have many higher priorities at
the moment.
