>Binary portability makes no sense for the majority of plugins. if you could get all your Wintel plugins running on x86/*nix and all of your Mac plugins running on ppc/*nix without a recompilation, wouldn't that strike you as advantageous? we already have ways to run most Wintel VST plugins on x86/linux, for example. its a bit kludgy, but it does work. imagine being able to do this without it being kludgy. if GMPI is done right, this will work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
