I've placed a new version of CM on ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu and
ftp.zkm.de. Several people have reported difficulty restoring Unix
tar.Z files on the Mac so I'm now maintaing 3 different versions of
the archive:
cm.tar.Z Unix compressed tar archive.
cm.sit.hqx Macintosh binhexed Stuffit archive.
cm.zip DOS zip archive (use pkunzip -d)
Also, the old macunix.sit.hqx file was somehow corrupted so I've
placed a new version on the server as well.
As of this release CM no longer contains defscorefile and with-part.
As a result of removing this stuff some directory and file names have
changed so its best to restore the archive to an empty directory.

Highlights:
1 New CMix and CMusic syntaxes (Thank you, Charlie Baker!)
2 Musical notes can now be given absolute starting times.
3 Code walking made smarter; algorithm slots can now dynamically
affect item streams and be referenced inside vars expressions.
5 Run command optionally caches output to new or existing threads.
6 New :decimals option to formatting-slots macro does floating point
and integer formatting, new :print-if :always option automatically
shows unbound slots as "-unset-"
See changes.text for a complete listing of new features and bug
fixes.
