Not until after I started to get replies.  I thought that it was more
of a player than an editor.

Unfortunately, it dumps core on me quite readily.  It may be a 64-bit
issue (my main system is an AMD64 box and sound software seems to be
in the category of software that tends to blow up in interesting
ways).


I have begun to get an impression that certain categories of software
either attract or create a breed of programmer that does not really
handle machine word-size changes very well.  I am coming to include
audio software in that set of categories.

In any case, thanks for the suggestion.  It looks like it might cover
my needs if I can get it to run without crashing.
