hey batinste, The more the merrier, your offer is much appreciated! My only concern with adding people to the build farm is: how do we know that people aren't going to do malicious things, like insert virii or trojans into their Pd builds? This may sound paranoid, but I'd like people to be able to trust the Pd-extended downloads.. I'm definitely not saying that you are not trustworthy, I'm saying that I know very little about you. I do see that you have been posting to the pd list since 2009, so that's something. .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Free software means you control what your computer does.
