if i understand right, what you want to do, implementing such a test mechanism is very easy. put this somewhere into your abstraction: [r isitthere] | [s yesitsthere] then you can easily check, if the library abs is open by sending a bang to [s isitthere]. when you receive a bang on [r yesitisthere], your abstraction is obviously open :-) roman ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
