Can anyone (hopefully someone down there at UC of San Diego) help me with C-music installation (vax 11/750)? Specifically: I need more information on the libraries specified in include/carl/config.m4. The release was loaded with tar into ~/c_music. Which of those libraries are system libraries (like, do you really need fortran libraries?) and which will be found buried deep in these nested directories from the release? Thanks in advance...

Most of us probably know little or nothing about C-music from the UC SanDiego, but I bet we'd be real interested. Why don't youz guys out there TELL us something about C-music. Maybe we would be interested - maybe we could even help! Robert of a non-research educational institute

Maybe we would be interested - maybe we could even help! It took me quite a while to track down the CARL distribution stuff; here's what I found out. Quotes are from their 11/28/84 announcement letter. "Another revision of the Computer Audio Research Laboratory (CARL) software distribution tape is now available. It contains over 115 programs and libraries for research and production in digital audio and computer music. As in the past, the software is distributed free of charge, and is in the public domain. "The programs are for signal processing, sound synthesis/analysis... developed... using a VAX11/780, running the Berkeley 4.1c Distribution... operating system. The tape costs $100. First get a "Software Distribution Agreement" from Ms. Susan Blakney, Administrative Assistant Center for Music Experiment, Q-037 U.C.S.D. La Jolla, CA 92093 * We haven't had much time to work with the software yet -- we're in the middle of a software release! Our intention is to port the software to Apollo systems to our C compiler, 4.2 port, and a homebrew Multibus DAC board. Also, an obvious extension is to distribute the computation where possible throughout our corporate ring. Someone at CARL who seems willing to answer questions is "sdcarl!rusty"@berkeley.arpa They apparently don't have a public-access mailing list for distribution, surprisingly. I'll set one up if there's interest. Rob -- "Satellites are out tonight" Rob Stanzel ARPA: Rps%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC Apollo Computer UUCP: ...{yale,uw-beaver,decvax!wanginst}!apollo!rps

One is that it is tremendously inefficient. Execing a program for each note makes things real modular, but it would be alot better if they'd use exec rather than invoking a shell everytime. The other cute thing is that if you overdrive your digital output, rather than clipping, it just omits those samples causing the time period to shrink. I've got a little front end that makes entering the scores a little faster, not graphical, but getting there. I can however use the C preprocessor. -Ron
