by the way, did everyone see that there was an article by Curtis Rhoads on
G.S. in Keyboard MAgazine this month? (not like it would make me buy it
or anything...)

Jean's horn-tooting alerted me to the fact that his (and Alexandre
Burton's) Cecilia graphic interface to Csound can now be run on a
Linux machine. Its a long weekend here, so this is my quest!
The appropriate file seems to be:
ftp://ftp.musique.umontreal.ca/pub/sgi/cecLINUX1.75.tar.gz
which I found via Jean's site:
http://www.musique.umontreal.ca/Org/CompoElectro/CEC/
but first of all I need to install tcl/tk on my Linux machine (I
already have the X windows system) and learn about it.
I found some files on disc 6 of the April 97 Infomagic release (~
3.5 gigabytes of generally compressed data at 1 cent per megabyte!):
sunsite.pt2/devel/lang/tcl
but am not sure which to use yet.
The equivalent web address is:
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/tcl/
The file which looks most promising is:
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/tcl/
tcltk+Tix.Linux.Bin.tgz
and is described as:
Binary distribution of tcl7.6b1, tk4.2b1 and
Tix4.1a3 for Linux. (ELF Format)
A web search for an up-to-date tcl/tk FAQ brought me to:
http://www.teraform.com/~lvirden/tcl-faq/part1.html
which I have now downloaded and will start reading.
I am getting Csound source and binaries for Linux from:
ftp://mustec.bgsu.edu/pub/linux/csound/
I would appreciate any assistance in this matter, and will post
final details of how I got it all going when I have successfully
conquered the learning curves.

I have a feeling that an ordinary, technical answer won't do in this
case. So,
It's called granular because it's made up of grains. grains of sound.
lots of them. Like grains of sand through the hourglass. So are the days
of our lives. Grains of corn, maybe, too. Does corn have grains?
Small grains. Large grains. Grain crackers. Nothing ventured, nothing
grained. I was in a prematurely air-conditioned supermarket, and there
were these grains that you could buy. When it grains it pours. The
olympic grains.

Robin, Since when have you been using Linux - I thought you were all
Windows!

Sure, email me any Linux questions (or my apologies if you've been on
Linux all along).
