Dear Kay,

Sorry for my late reply since there has been something wrong with my
internet access.  I have read all the "Why Csound" email and would
like to add one more reason, that is, we can program orchestra file
and score file only once and have them compiled on different hardware
platform, using different version of Csound.  That is like the most
popular programming language - Sun Microsystems' Java.  Java is a
write-once-run-anywhere language.  We can name Csound as a
write-once-generate-anywhere language.

Anything wrong?  Please point out.

Regards
Qian Chen

know, Csound is a synthesis language.  It can really make a lot of
sounds that do not exist in the world.  But don't you think
synthesisers and samplers are great enough to realize it?  So why
Csound?  Could someone out there give me some advice so that I will be
clear about it?
