Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hey Rob,

  I helped debug JSynthLib using Windows. The programmers haven't 
done much to it lately. I've never used it with a Mac. The biggest 
problem Windows user have is either finding the JSynthLib executable 
to run the program or making a shortcut to start the program. Because 
Java is similar to Unix the caps have to left in the shortcut or it 
errors and says class not found. Fun, fun, fun!!!

  I have to admit it is a blast setting up any midi interface or 
program from scratch. Even with years of PC's under my belt it would 
be nice to put in a CD and have everything come up working. Though 
I've yet to see that happen....

Rock on, Narfman
