this lets you send whatever you want: [list prepend send] | [list trim] | [netsend] Using [netclient] and [netserver] from maxlib instead of the native [netsend] and [netreceive] might make the implementation of one-to-many or many-to-one setups easier. I often found myself using something like this in order to easily send messages from any client to all others: - on the client side (multiple instances) - [list prepend send] | [list trim] | [netclient] - on the server - [r broadcast] | [list prepend broadcast] | [list trim] | [netserver 9999] | [list] | [s broadcast] Roman _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
