[daip] Re: UVCON -- Apple

[Hans-Rainer Kloeckner]

Hi Eric,

Thank's for the reply. I have tested the input on my linux machine and 
there it works fine, so there is a problem with the Apple, which is IBMPPC
12" power book. I will try to install the binaries to check that is works.


greetings from the very cold and rainy Oxford
