Yes indeed. It is important to reiterate the basic rule of committing that we follow. I think is lightweight yet effective: if it isn't your code that you committed, then always ask before committing. As for implementing substantial changes to soundfiler, I think the way to do it is not to try to get the modifications into Pd-vanilla, there are so many issues of backwards compatibility. Instead make a new object, even if it is largely just a modified version of the original. [sndfiler] is a good example of that. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic.
