Just to interject my 2 cents:

	This is so true.  Especially with the current crop of up-coming software
CSound will suffer the same fate as the Amiga!

Also the new version of Cakewalk Pro Audio, and others like it, will
support realtime effects and plugins from several manufacturors like Waves.
	Since these programs are easy to use people will use them even if they are
not free.  One of the reasons CSound is so attractive is the price, but if
the CSound group splinters...........
