Some answer.

 Gabriel> 1)  'turnon' opcode activates an instrument with a different number of

 Gabriel> Is it possible to use turnon as a subroutine call?

One is expected to use turnon in the orchestra outside asny instrument.

 Gabriel> 2) the new opcodes manual says  turnon activates an instrument for an

See above

 Gabriel> 3) Is it possible to use 'ftgen' opcode in the header section of the
 Gabriel> orchestra instead of within an instr body? If not, do the tables

One expects to see ftgen outside instruments.

 Gabriel> thank you and happy new year!

Humpf!  Depends on how many more errors are found in the new
version....

Just a few comments.

The code with which I was supplied did not define the opcodes tablekt
and tableikt.  Although there were lines in teh entry table for them,
they called for the existence of the functions tblsetkt, ktablekt,
tablekt, tblsetkt, ktablikt, and tablikt which are not in any of the C
files.  In this circumstance I removed the erroneous opcodes.

{ "tablekt",  S(TABLE),	7,	"s",  "xkooo",tblsetkt,	ktablekt, tablekt },
{ "tableikt", S(TABLE),	7,	"s",  "xkooo",tblsetkt,	ktablikt, tablikt },

Secondly, the function ftfindp has been in Csound since last March.

Thu Mar 20 22:17:00 1997  John Fitch  

	* entry.c: Put Whittle opcodes back

	* fgens.c (ftfindp): New function (Whittle)

Thirdly, the number of tables available has been arbitrary (not limit
to just 300 or 1000) since May, and version 3.46

Sun May  4 08:58:44 1997  John Fitch  

	* version.h: NEW VERSION 3.46
	
	* fgens.c (fgens): Expand the number of tables available
	dynamically. 

Lastly, I am not yet convinced that there are bugs in tables.
