I think it would be awesome to have a real IRC or Jabber client in Pd and use it in netpd. That's why I am writing the tkwidgets library, so that we can have nice, familiar, OS-native widgets in Pd. netpd's chat would be a great test case for the new [entry], which isn't written yet, but wouldn't take long. You could try [tkwidgets/text] it works pretty well now, and is quite customizable (there is still a couple bugs tho). .hc > since one can even open a file containing spaces in the path from > pd, it > would actually make sense, if symbolatom would support that. i can't > think of a case, where supporting spaces would break anything (or am i > overseeing something?). > before i change my policy about using externals in netpd, i would like > to ask (probably miller?), if there is a chance, that symbolatom is > changed accordingly in the future? > > roman > > > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http:// > messenger.yahoo.de > > > _______________________________________________ > PD-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. - General Smedley Butler _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
