Since
BP2 is able to resolve aliases and load files on remote volumes, this type of
organisation may be extended to local network configurations: the basic
elements could for instance be stored on a server and accessed by users with
the usual read/write permissions. For instance, it is safe to protect
alphabets or sound-objects from unauthorised modifications if they are shared
by different projects.
BP2
can read directly text files edited by DOS or Windows editor
s.
In this process, "high ASCII" characters are automatically transcoded. This
feature has been implemented to facilitate the direct interpretation of
text-oriented musical items or grammars produced in the Wintel environment.
