Apparently they GPL'd the sources, and you can download it, but it's written in Lisp, and MCL PPC Lisp at that. However, as they put it: "At the beginning, this will make sense only to people owning the Digitool compiler. Although we are conscious that this limitation does not fit clearly into the GPL framework, we think that making the sources available is an oppurtunity to raise collaborations leading to new versions of OM that would depend only on open sources compiler, particularly on linux platforms" I did speak with some Ircam people at Darmstadt this past summer, and I don't think they really have the interest in doing the port themselves. However, Ircam certainly isn't anti-Linux, so they might be able/willing to help/be persuaded to work on it. (François, and Norbert, if you're on this list, feel free to comment.) -dgm
