Either way, if you open a patch that uses zexy objects in Pd-vanilla, there will be "...couldn't create" errors. Having [import zexy] there at least gives a place to focus on. Or if people are interested in more portability, they are welcome to either use [declare] or "apt-get install puredata-import" .hc _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
