Pd social aspects (Re: [PD] PDDP meeting?)

 with the exceptions of some  Boulez and Manoury pieces. It was deemed too
 unreliable.

-I don't know whether jMax was technologically more or less advance. But it
 might have played a role. In the end not many people were using it and
combined
 with all kinds of transition problems from version 2 to 4, it was killed off.
