[CM] Cmdist Digest, Vol 51, Issue 2

I've got it working now, with much help from Tim.

I read in another thread that you were thinking of putting out a
second edition of your book, using SAL. I hope you do, because as far
as I know there are no books on SAL. It should make Grace/Common Music
more appealing to people
who don't like Lisp or Scheme. Also, the latest version of Roger
Dannenberg's Nyquist (which is based on David Betz's XLisp) also
supports SAL, so it would be easier for people to move from one to the
other (although I don't know how
compatible the two implementations of SAL are).

David.

Of course its possible to run the version of CM2 that was current when the book was published, I think the CD has that and I could resurrect that runtime using sbcl or clasp and emacs.  I will rewrite the examples but I can't start until July, my apologies
