The question asked was whether or not there was something like MAX that
would run on the Windows platform. I meant to suggest that KeyKit
wouldn't run on anything "less" than 95 or NT (for people like me who
have not--yet?--converted to 95 or whatever; I'm still at 3.1 and all is
still reasonably well). Yes, the documentation for KeyKit lists other
ports: "Previous versions have been ported to a wide variety of systems,
including UNIX, DOS, Mac, Amiga, and even Plan 9."

Please pass on other commentary on KeyKit, pros and cons--as well as on
other planned and existing products in this "ballpark." Personally, I
recently returned from the SEAMUS conference in Kansas City (John Fitch
prominently in attendance) and am *very* impressed with extended,
realtime (interactive) Csound as it is being implemented by Analog
Devices and Barry Vercoe, Richard Boulanger (*and* John Fitch), et al.
It just might render *all* such debate somewhat obsolete--and fairly
soon.
