 - MIDI input (with optional time-stamping) supported on SGI, Linux (OSS device drivers only), and Windows operating systems.  Time stamping under IRIX and Windows is quantized to milliseconds and under Linux to hundredths of a second.
 - Various Sound Output Options - .wav, .snd, and .mat (Matlab MAT-file) soundfile outputs are supported on all operating systems.  I hacked out the MAT-file structure, so you don't have to include any platform-specific libraries.  Realtime sound output is provided as well, except under NeXTStep.
 - Multiple Reverberator Implementations - Reverb subclasses of JCRev and NRev (popular reverberator implementations from CCRMA) have been written.  Perry's original reverb implementation still exists as PRCRev.  All reverberators now take a T60 initializer argument.
-- MD2SKINI - A program which parses a MIDI input stream and spits out SKINI code.  The output of MD2SKINI is typically piped into an STK instrument executable (eg. <tt>MD2SKINI | syntmono Clarinet -r -i</tt>).  In addition, you can supply a filename argument to MD2SKINI and have it simultaneously record a SKINI score file for future reuse.

 - Modifications to <I>Object.h</I> for OS_TYPE compilation dependencies.  <I>Makefile</I> automatically determines OS_TYPE when invoked (if you have the GNU makefile utilities installed on your system).
 - A single distribution for all platforms.  The Unix and Windows versions have been merged into a single set of classes.  Makefiles and Visual C++ workspace/project files are provided for compiling.
