Digging thru my backlog... in Pd-extended there is

hcs/version
tcl/tcl_version
ggee/getdir

I agree, it would be nice to have the About Pd page be a Pd
patch.  If you make one, I'll include it in Pd-extended
0.43.

Ok, here's a 1st attempt.  It would look a lot better if I used
[entry] to display the Pd version (and possibly tcl version) but
that object is too buggy to use.

The links work assuming about.pd lives in doc/5.reference.

Btw-
/usr/lib/pd-extended/LICENSE.txt, referred to in the
current "about pd" textfile, doesn't exist on my machine.

I like the sparks and credits animation! Where is this file designed to go in the file system? I think probably the best place would be in lib/pd/doc/about.pd

.hc




.hc

replace the "Help->About Pd" textfile with a pd
patch so the links could
be clickable. (Also, it would then be possible to do
some rolling credits,
as often happens in an "About this Software" window.)
