This is because the Mac Version resource allows only one digit per
place.  Sorry - using the vers resource seemed like a good idea at the
time.  The banner in the output window should read MIT 3.47.

The perf 3.47 beta 3 on our ftp site is 3.47 as recently released by
jpff.  I am taking care of bugs but haven't really heard of many since
I announced that beta on this list, so there won't be much difference
between that and the non-beta release.  Matt recently took care of a
couple of front end bugs.  Soon as I have time check out a couple of
things I'll wrap up the new csound, perf and csref in a nice new bundle
and announce it AND the source code availability.  In the meantime
these things can be picked up separately from the ftp site at Mills.

Sounds good to me.

PS Re: recent thread - Matt, Mike and I were chomping at the bit to do
an extended csound port for the power mac, but it (slowly and
painfully) fell through.

dave,

thanks very much for your response, and all efforts on behalf of macusers!
have been kind of depressed lately since April 98 Electronic Musician
"scope out the whole scene" article on software synths gave exceedingly
short shrift to the macintosh platform. my god not even a mention of max or
msp!

yeah i know the handwriting is on the wall, but still believe a
disproportionatly high number of music professionals operate on the mac
platform. now most of them may not be creating the blips and bleeps that i
am so fond of, but they do tend to spend a good deal more cash on high end
musical hardware and software.

hoping rhapsody will give the platform the kick in the butt it needs, or at
least that the mac holds out until i can upgrade to SGI. certainly you guys
will continue to develop for that in the forseeable future -won't you?

anyway, thanks again.

Well, I upgraded to SGI and I love it but know SGI is making an NT box
and it seems that the push is to the cheap (in more than one way) Intel
Pentium.... I dont see Apple or SGI going anyway though. They will be
around for a while yet.
