I converted the CVS repository to Subversion in January.  You can access 
it by following the instructions at

http://jazzplusplus.sourceforge.net/subversion/

The current Subversion trunk compiles on a Windows box using XP or Vista 
using either Visual Studio .NET 2005 (VS8) or Visual Studio .NET 2008 
(VS9) and works with wxWidgets 2.8.7.

I have the same source building on Fedora 8 using GCC 4.1.2 and the
WX_2_8_BRANCH of wxWidgets.

The trunk is only partially implemented, but has the ability to read and 
play a MIDI file.

Sounds good.

I am a frequent user of Audacity on Windows and Linux boxes.

Do you have access to a Windows box?

Today I made a post on the users list looking for "innocent victims" to 
attempt to build the version of the code in the trunk so that I can add 
decent build instructions on the web site.  If you get an opportunity to 
try this I would be willing to help you.

Leland, thanks for your interest in Jazz++,
