- Actually, Nutation does exist. I have it. Unfortunately, it is broken in
- NS 3.0 and it needs the Adobe "Sonata" font to work in 2.0. It used to
- be at CCRMA-ftp.stanford.edu but I haven't seen it since NS 3.0 came out.
- Last I heard Glendon was working in some administrative capacity at CCRMA
- but I suspect he may have gotten another job elsewhere. I wonder where
- Glendon went to and if he's quietly porting Nutation over to NS 3.0?
- Incidently, at the time of the NeXTworld article NS 2.0 was pretty well
- established but Nutation only worked in NS 1.0. I don't believe NeXTWorld
- mentioned that suttle detail and I've always wondered why they featured an
- application that didn't work until at least six months later. I sure
- wish someone picked it up for distribution.
