Is there any way for a user to know if their version of Pd is 32 or 64
bit while it's running? Attempting to load externals of the wrong type
just gives those vague 'unable to load' errors. If the 'About PD'
window would say which address size it uses that could help. (I use
different versions on a few different machines and I can't remember
which is which)
Help->About Pd gives: "Pd version 0.50.0", maybe it could say "Pd
version 0.50.0 (64-bit addressing)".
