As there was a serious defficency in pow I am placing my 3.492 system
on teh server today.  Ther are 
   Csound.tar.gz      Unix style sources
   csound_src.zip     PC style sources

   SGI/csound         Silicon Graphics Irix5.3
   CSLinux.bin.tgz    Linux/ELF binary
   csound_new.zip     DOS
   csound_win.zip     Window95 etc
   csound_con.zip     Windows console mode
   csound_68k.Hqx     Mac 68K
   csound_881.Hqx     Mac 68K with 881 fpt (not tested)

and if I can manage it also 
    csound.sit.Hqx    Mac sources

For PowerMac use Matt Ingalls' version.  Solaris version will follow
if I have time; my Atari still will not boot

There are release notes as well; shortened form follows

Release Notes for 3.492
=======================

These are the release notes for version 3.492, which will eventually
becone 3.50


Bug Fixes
---------

Pow now available again.
Internal changes to parser to make fewer calls to strcmp

Language Changes
----------------

hetro had a wrong constant which would give rise to a little noise.

If the incorrect out opcode is used it now attempts to correct to the
correct one, which is not necessarily correct.

new names dumpk rather than kdump introduced. 

kon renamed midion

kfilter2 renamed filter2 (still not sure it works though)

The opcodes rand randi and randh take an additional, optional argument
which if non zero gives a 31bit random nuber rather than the 16bit one.

Opcode Fixes
------------

sndwarp had bugs on Linux

ramnd, randh and randi now take an additional operand, which if
non-zero use a better randon number generator

bug in ntrpol fixed

MIDI on Linux may work.


New Opcodes 
-----------

schedule -- schedule an instrument event

schedwhen -- conditional scheduling

lfo -- Low Frequency Oscilator with 6 shapes

midion2 -- MIDI turnon (G.Maldonado)

pctrlinit --  (G.Maldonado)

dpctrlinit --  (G.Maldonado)

midiin --  (G.Maldonado)

midiout --  (G.Maldonado)

nrpn --  (G.Maldonado)

cpstmid --  (G.Maldonado)
