Hi Sjaak (and all the others which are a member of this list)

Just for you not to feel too lonely: I've been a member of this list for
more than a year now, but did not have time to actively participate in
it (yet?).
I've always been very interested in music programming (bought a
super-fast (> 1GFlop) Texas Instruments DSP a year ago to create my own
fourier-synthesis system), and music composition (classical, jazz,
pop, etc.), but the last 14 months were far too busy to actively
participate in the mailing list.
Professionally: I am a freelance Delphi/database programmer during the
daytime.

Many regards,

Henk Hagedoorn
