Hi All,

For those using csound~, I have a question.  I was working on a zip
release of csound~ so that users can install csound~ wherever they
like. However, I found no way to get the Examples to show up in Max
7's Help->Examples menu without placing the examples in
/Users/Shared/Max 7/Examples/csound~.  Does anyone know of a way to
get examples to show up in that menu just by putting a directory on
Max's path?

It seems useful to have the examples in that menu. If there isn't a
way to do it otherwise, I'm going to abandon the zip release idea and
just leave the existing installer stuff in place.

steven

Well I'd rather just have one release per-platform as it's one less
thing to worry about supporting. I can modify the existing installer
script to build a zip as well and release the two; the zip should
probably then have instructions in a README that explains what to do.

Sidenote: I've long found work on csound~ to take up time I'd rather
not spend on it. It's been not good for me, and I imagine someone who
actually uses csound~ and who has more time would better support it.
(The only reason I stepped in to work on it was that no one else had
and it had gone unsupported.)  I'm looking for someone to volunteer
taking over maintenance of csound~. I'm happy to walk through someone
on building and developing it on OSX and Windows, and what scripts to
use for the automated build/releases (at least, what I've been doing;
you're welcome to adjust and improve the workflow as you wish).  If
you're interested, please contact me offlist.  Otherwise, I will no
longer be maintaining csound~ after the next csound release.
