CsoundVST is also a front end, and Istvan Varga has recently introduced 
csound5gui, similar to Winsound. I think that neither Winsound nor 
csound5gui are QUITE ready on Windows, but probably both are ready for 
Linux. CsoundVST on the other hand works fine on Windows, but you need to 
install Python before you install it.

Mike
