(after a long interchange of harsh emails between istvan and the "official" developers, he definitely disappeared from the scene, and his sources and binaries with him). i even installed fltk to be able to see these knobs and sliders everyone's hollering about. but ffitch's makefile didn't work for me, only when steven yi posted a modified makefile to the csound list (20030704) i was successful. the binaries also work, but with my binaries i get about 10-15% faster performance. i'm talking about csound 4.23f04 at sourceforge. good luck, lj
