[RWP] SWS for Augmenting ReaAccess

[Indigo]

It's something new to learn, but the idea of using SWS is that it 
integrates into Reaper without problems, and it's already tried and proved.
I'd like to ask Jinseng if you  will let us look at the improvements you 
made to your ReaAccess with SWS code, so we can try to understand how it 
works.
Could we get your SWS code files, that correct problems in your 
ReaAccess, and could you tell us exactly what the problems were that you 
were correcting, in which version of ReaAccess; and which version of Reaper?
Thanks
Indigo
