The enclosed package is a set of PHP pages serving as a minimal interface for
a new version of Bol Processor under development at SourceForge (https://bolprocessor.org). Bol Processor is a program for music composition and improvisation with real-time MIDI in/out, MIDI file, Csound, and text output options.

Currently, the complete version of Bol Processor (BP9.2.8) is running on Mac computers. However, the highest system version supporting it is MacOS 10.14 (Mojave). This is the main incentive for designing a console server application receiving instructions via command lines. The core program already compiles successfully for many systems including MacOS, Linux, Windows with both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel processors.

The new application is under test with its client interface programmed in PHP. At the present moment, Bol Processor neither has a graphic display nor MIDI in/out processes, but its output can be checked with Csound. The enclosed PHP interface is meant to be shared with designers eager to contribute to the development of the core application and its client applications.
