I am not sure its 100% on topic but I havnt seen anything mentioned about debug and exception handling. So does the host need to provide any services to help debug plugins and handle exceptions? It would be pretty usefull to have some kind of debug mode where and host<>plug comunication is either loged or check and logged by the host? Although mabey with a well documented/defined API this would not be so much of a problem? chris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
