-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 If someone wants to write patches that work on vanilla anywhere, then there is a point. If people are already using Pd-extended or Debian then I honestly don't see the point, arraysize is already there, like many other externals.

And thankfully we can write externals, so we can have choice. :-) .hc On 09/27/2012 03:00 PM, Jonathan Wilkes wrote: > That feature comes at the expense of compatibility, which > normally wouldn't be an issue _except_ that Pd > Vanilla already has the same functionality.
