Hi Paul,
please try to be kind to each other. I am not using mail since yesterday, ok. The mail I've sent was multipart/mixed
and sent by mozilla 0.96. feel free to file a bug-report if you dislike the behaviour. I am happy that I managed to build it my self on solaris (2.6).
Please don't discuss that any further - that would be wast of bandwith.

As this is a *developer* mlist I am talking about how the differ regarding to the needs of a developer.
E.g. ASIO is a Audio-IO HAL and VST is a plugin architecture. AFAIK the only thing they have in common
is that they both are from Steinberg .
