Hi Andrew,

Thanks, but that doesn't help so much with with the max to pd conversion. If I made it an external, I would be able to use it to
replace the internal, right?

I _think_ that this is not possible with Pd <= current versions.

To correct myself: Since 0.42 or so there is way for externals to
override internals.
Personally I find it was wrong to implement this 'feature' without
providing a mechanism for a patch to protect it from using externals
that override internals. This really can make debugging hard and writing
portable patches impossible.

IIRC, there is even a documented case on the list, where someone posted
a patch, that was working only on some computers because a slight
difference between Pd's [wrap] and zexy's [wrap] and only on *some*
machines zexy was installed and did override Pd's internal [wrap].

FYI: I agree with Roman. I already removed the 0.42 aliasing feature from Pd-extended 0.42.5
