Waiting in anticipation. Nigel. Hi Mark. Sorry about the last post. There are about 2 lines of info. Tried to progress to sourceforge to download dssi-vst, but konqueror suddenly starting using 100%+ cpu. Don't know if some disgruntled windows user has knobbled the sourceforge dssi-vst page. I was going to DL dssi-vst and see if there was anymore info about it in the README. Doh. Nigel.
