SubjectNewbie questions (concerning Csound Book, Extended Csound, archives)
Hi all:

Just subscribed to the list.  Apologies if these are questions that have
been asked a million times before:

1) I read in the mailing list archives about a Csound Book from MIT
Press.  Any idea when this book should be released?

2) Are there any synth manufacturers planning to release synths using
Extended Csound?  I know Generalmusic has released an effects plug-in
for one of their synths, that performs harmonizing using the AD chip. 
Are there any companies that plan on offering a general hardware
platform, a la the Nord Modular or Kyma, that will use Extended Csound?
My dream synth at this point would be a DSP engine in a box with
knobs/touchplates/a keyboard/other realtime controls, that could be
programmed in Csound via a computer, yet could run stand-alone for live
performances like the Nord Modular. Is a synth similar to this in the
planning? 

3) What unit generators are currently implemented in Extended Csound?
Are all of the v3.47 unit generators implemented?  Are there additional
unit generators?   

4) How do I access the archives, so I can stop asking these questions?

Thanks,

Sean Costello
