I am forwarding this mail from the forum IRCAM because I think this is very important news. Currently Open Music works only on Macs, but I'm looking forward to see Open Music (ex-Patchwork) running in linux! ciao a tutti Nicola +----------------------+ |Nicola Bernardini | |E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | +----------------------+ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:41:34 +0200 From: Vincent Puig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fwd: OpenMusic GPL distribution For Forum members already using OpenMusic there is now a GPL access to the OpenMusic sources online. We invite Forum Members currently not subscribed to the OpenMusic group to try it freely if they have a CommonLisp compiler. Happy OM ! Pour les membres du groupe Forum OpenMusic intéressés par du développement : il existe à présent un accès GPL aux sources par le Web en plus des sources disponibles sur le CD Forum. Nous invitons les membres Forum qui ne sont pas incrits à ce groupe à tester OpenMusic s'ils disposent d'un compilateur CommonLisp.
