it was called "peerdata" [1] (or formerly "multipd") and you can still find the paper at [2]. it worked by putting some middleware (a proxy, written in Pd :-)) between pd-core and pd-gui that would handle the 1-to-N distribution of messages. it didn't require any changes on both the core and the gui, you only needed to start the two programs separately and tell them to use the proxy as the "other" end. while in theory the proxy is dumb (and should thus be robust against Pd-version changes), it was just clever enough so that i think it is broken since the gui rewrite (Pd>=0.43) gmsda IOhannes [1] https://github.com/umlaeute/peerdata [2] http://umlaeute.mur.at/Members/zmoelnig/dissertation/papers/pd2007
