SubjectThe Book,"Computer Music in C" Where! How!
Hello,

    I have seen many a reference made to a book called "Computer music
in C", but I have never been able to get a copy of this book. I've
searched amazon & Barnes and Noble + all over the web. Is this the only
book that tells how to work with raw C code and create sounds?

Anybody have it or read it, is it worth tracking down?

What are other books I may have a little easier time getting a hold of,
involving sound generation straight from the heart of the ol' machine?

 Or using C++, Java?? etc?
Is Java even powerful enough to handle "raw" sound generation?
C++?

GOD! I am so frustrated trying to track down the info I need to build
the software synth of the millenium! HELP ME....HELP
ME.....arrrrgggghhhhh!!!

The author is Phil Winsor if that helps you in finding it.
Check your public library (mine has it)
