[RWP] Reaper Access for the Mac?

[Derek Lane]

no, but if I may be biased, I have to say that I really do enjoy the latest 
strides reaaccess has made.
I rather enjoy creating effects chains by tweaking previously inaccessible 
plugins.
 Should you guys care, I can make a demo recording, showing some of them 
off.
I did have a reason for mentioning plugins on this thread though.  Would the 
code for dealing with them by different on the mac given it uses some 
plugins windows tipically doesn't?
Also, I know the track list isn't accessible, but what is or isn't?
