Last I heard, Opcode felt there was not enough of a demand in the Windows market to make a Windows version of Max. Some alternatives: 1. Code your own. I remember someone in the rec.music.computer newsgroup was working on a Max-like program for DOS or something like that. This might become easier once MIDI capabilities are added to Java. 2. Get NeXTStep for Intel processors, then try getting the NeXT version of Max. This might be difficult, however, as the Next version is owned by IRCAM. You might have to contact IRCAM directly about this. 3. Get a used 68K-based Mac. Might actually cost less than getting NextStep and upgrading your hardware to accommodate it. > A friend of mine saw Steve Hillage in concert recently.
