I must apologise about this.

I have just had another look for these opcodes and I find that they
were lurking in a different file.  In fact the functiosn have been in
Csound sources and binaries for at least 6 months.  What was missing
was the lines in entry.

I have just added them; will be in my next version.

As this is all getting rather silly, I propose that 3.47 gets released
next week.

Regarding the lack of the tablekt and tableikt table read ugens, with 
k-rate control of table number, which I wrote in 1995/6, John Fitch

Excellent!  The Version 3.46 sources had the original ugens2.c/h.
As you wrote earlier, the supporting function for the k-rate table 
changing - ftfindp() - was in 3.46's fgens.c.

Does that mean that the original ugens2.c/h - from Barry Vercoe I 
think - will be replaced entirely with my version?  This has the new 
ugens and the commented, *debugged* versions of the normal table read 
ugens, according to my critique at:

    http://www.firstpr.com.au/csound/tabread.txt

That file describes exactly how I think the table read ugens should 
behave - and I believe my version of the ugens in 

    http://www.firstpr.com.au/csound/ugens2.c
    http://www.firstpr.com.au/csound/ugens2.h

behave this way.

Software development often gets silly.  Still, there's no marketing
department or litigation-minded shareholders breathing down your
neck - so I would support version 3.47 being unleashed whenever the
time is right.


I haven't done any Csounding for a long time. It could be another 
month or two to go, but I am very much looking forward to it.
