;; Before ssc will work the SuperCollider language must be running and
;; the EvalListener class must be initialized.  Under Linux use the
;; 'Start SCL' (C-c!) Emacs command, under OSX start the SuperCollider
;; application and type 'EvalListener.init'.

;; Literals

#(1 1.0 #\a "a")

;; Boot the server.  The ssc Emacs command 'Start SC3' does this.
