Subject: [ANNOUNCE] unofficial linux csound 3.49.3.3e available

The unofficial 3.49.3.3e distribution of linux csound is available from
the AIMI server

ftp://musart.dist.unige.it/pub/CSOUND/csound-3.49.3.3e-*.tar.gz

in binary form (dynamically linked), binary form w/o X11 support (dynamically
linked) and source form.

	*THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTION*

The official distribution can be found at
ftp://ftp.maths.bath.ac.uk/pub/dream/newest. The official 3.493 sources
are of course the hard work of J.P.Fitch (jpff@maths.bath.ac.uk).

This distribution features a merged port of the official 3.493 sources,
ALSA (i.e. free full-duplex and multiple cards) I/O drivers (by Fred
Floberg), linux scheduler priority control (by Fred Floberg),
improved MIDI out device control (by Dave Phillips and Paul Barton-Davis),
initial support of the 'control' and 'cdisplay' opcodes under unix
(no sliders yet, by Nicola Bernardini), and long option support (by
Fred Floberg). Many others have contributed in useful comments and hints.

Thanks to all,

Enjoy.

Hi:

I was just wondering whether this linux release of Csound would be able to
run on a Mac G3 running LinuxPPC, or whether the code would be
Intel-clone-specific??

Thanks

I don't know of anybody running it on LinuxPPC - but there's always
a first time :-). Actually, I'd be glad to adjust the configure.in file
to allow compilation and linking on LinuxPPC if needed, and then we could
go into gorier details (MIDI, I/O, etc.) - except I don't have a G3.

If you would like to join the people working expressely on this version,
please subscribe to csound-unix-dev@ilogic.com.au (instructions may be
found at www.ilogic.com.au/csound).

Thank you

Nicola
