Re: broken scala files in metasynth?

I use Metasynth. It's Mac only. I don't have Scala, because I'm not running Mac OS X yet, so I
don't know how they compare. Wasn't Scala available only for Windows until recently?

Metasynth comes with a library of a few hundred scales, and you can write your own. The scale
library was provided by Andrew Souter, according to the MetaSynth manual. I met both of the U&I
Software people (Eric Wenger and Edward Spiegel) and I don't feel that they would intentionally
rip anyone off, but I don't know where Andrew came up with the tuning files.
