Csound 2.0	The original MIT binary for 68k machines.	Barry Vercoe	ftp://sound.media.mit.edu/pub/Csound
Csound 3.0	A port to 68k and PPC machines based on the MIT 3.0 code.	John Fitch	ftp://ftp.bath.ac.uk/pub/jpff
csound.ppc	The latest and very best PPC Csound separates Csound from the GUI (so you don't have to quit!) and integrates nicely with BBEdit or any other text editor. It works with OMS and has real-time audio in and out.	matt ingalls, Dave Madole, and Mike Berry	http://www.concentric.net/~Mingalls/software/csound/

Cecilia	"CECILIA is an environment for music and signal-processing that uses Csound as its underlying audio processing engine. One can think of CECILIA as a completely programmable sound-processing tool, with real-time interactive processing on soundfiles or live input, and as a full blown software synthesizer with configurable knobs."	Alexandre Burton & Jean Piché	http://www.musique.umontreal.ca/CEC/
