You might be interested in IEM's xmlrpc library for Pd. That will give you an interface closer to a library. We could use this project as an impetus to get iemxmlrpc into Pd-extended, if it isn't already. Other options are OSC, and just using Pd messages over a network socket (they are very simple format, anything ASCII ending with a semi-colon and a carraige return). It would also be a useful test case for steering the build system towards making custom distros. This would mean that Apricot could easily use any Pd library that is included in Pd-extended, but we could then strip out anything that isn't actually used. I'll be in Amsterdam from April 30th until May 7th ish, I could meet up with you guys for some face time, if that's not too late. :) .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- There is no way to peace, peace is the way. -A.J.
