never used it myself, but a german linux magazine wrote a review and they hated it. otoh, it was mainly stability issues of the overpriced professional version, and i think there's a free edition which might be ok. as to free pascal, i've been doing some cs homework with it lately - we were to implement some basic algos and the tutor couldn't read c, so i had to port my stuff. from that experience i can say that the fp code is quite a bit slower compared to gcc (only bare-bones pointer-list operations and some integer math, no i/o), so i don't know how well it deals with massive sound computations. -- J�rn Nettingsmeier home://Kurf�rstenstr.49.45138.Essen.Germany phone://+49.201.491621 http://spunk.dnsalias.org http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/
