| An addition to the CMIX info:
One of the wonderful things about Cmix (and RTcmix) is its MINC ("M is
not C") language. It is an easily extensible C-like
scripting language that interfaces with the UGs and DSPs and makes it
easy to develop algorithmic structures. Perhaps Perl is better, but it
works well...
Cheers,
Dan
