    	I've just uploaded a PD stack to MET730 called
    Benson_MIDI_utility_stack.stuffit.
    It's basically a stack that lets you do sysex bulk dumps from various
    synths to the MAC, plus a whole lot of other things that I haven't
    investigated yet. Its worth downloading it just to see a good stack!
    Mr. Bates said that he would have it up soon so if you have a MAC
    its definitely worth a look. Be prepared to read a hefty piece of
    documentation included with it!

What is the definition of "stack" in this case? Is MET730 a vax system?

How do you down load it; where do you download it from; where do you download
it to? What other things can it do?

Who is Mr. Bates? What will it be "up to"? How do I get a look? Where do I get
the documentation?
I'm just full of questions everyone is afraid to ask.  8^))

| 1910.2 | Stacks are for MACs | TROA01::HITCHMOUGH | Wed Mar 15 1989 17:22 | 11 | |
|     Dave, I'm not sure if there is anything in this notes file on MET730
    but you may want to check the Macintosh notes and do a dir/
    title=MET730 (assuming you are a MAC user).
    If not, then it probably wont be much use to you 'cos a stack is
    basically a macintosh program that wont run on a PC etc.
    MET730 is indeed a VAX node, (no idea where) and Mr. Bates is kind
    enough to look after the oodles of PD software that he keeps on
    it.
    Hope this helps a little.

    Didn't you see the movie?   "Norman Bates: just a normal healthy young
    man with normal healthy interests..."

|     In this context, "stack" refers to a HyperCard stack, which is roughly
    speaking a combined program and data file that runs in HyperCard on a
    Mac.
    
    There is a large, up-to-date, well-organized archive of Mac software on
    the ENET.  Its top-level directory is MET730::MACROOT:.  For
    music-related software, look at MET730::MUSIC:, for HyperCard stacks,
    look at MET730::STACKS:, etc.  Joe Bates does a great job maintaining
    the archive.
