I have added 3 this week while at ICMC; join the club!

 Olivier> 1. What am I doing wrong?

Using a cr*p compiler?  Using Macintosh files on a PC?  You do not say
what platform so it is hard to comment.  PLEASE everyone, if you have
problems SAY WHAT PLATFORM.  I have rebuild with VC++ v4.0 many times
this week, and that was never an error message I have seen.

As managing director of a commercial compiler writing you should shoot
the author of that compiler.  That is not a message any of Codemist's
compiler would produce; end comercial


 Olivier> 2. Are there other examples somewhere?
All over!  My web page has soem of my works which you may not like but
they render

 Olivier> 3. Why are you not programming in C++?
a) Because Csound is written in C
b)  C++ is a ghastly language with a horrendous
standard
c) C+ was not invented when Csound was written
d) I dislike C++
e) Why are you not programming in LISP aka Gods-own-language?
f) ...fill in the other 100 reasons yourself

:-)

 Olivier> 4. What kind of compiler do you advice me? I am currently using:
 Olivier> miracle.............. It does not miracles at all.
Never heard of it!  Apart from using my compiler (on Acorn and SGI), I
have used SGI, gcc, Lattice, Zortech, Symantecs, Micro$oft,
CodeWarrior, and probably others I forget.  It does rather depend on
your processor though!
