i have wondered on few occasions if segmented data

there something hardcoded that only accept a
connect selector with a list with 4 floats? would
adding more floats break the file format?
You could try it for yourself pretty easily. Here's an easy way to
find here the "#X connect" message is implemented:
h...@palatschinken:src > grep '"connect"' *.c
g_editor.c: gensym("#X"), gensym("connect"),
g_editor.c: "connect");
g_editor.c: gensym("#X"), gensym("connect"),
g_editor.c: binbuf_addv(b, "ssiiii;", gensym("#X"),
gensym("connect"),
g_editor.c: gensym("connect"), A_FLOAT, A_FLOAT, A_FLOAT,
A_FLOAT, A_NULL);
g_readwrite.c: binbuf_addv(b, "ssiiii;", gensym("#X"),
gensym("connect"),
m_binbuf.c: else if (!strcmp(second, "connect")||
m_binbuf.c: gensym("#X"), gensym("connect"),
m_binbuf.c: else if (!strcmp(second, "connect"))
m_binbuf.c: gensym("#P"), gensym("connect"),
u_pdsend.c: sockerror("connect");
u_pdsend.c: sockerror("connect");
x_net.c: gensym("connect"), A_SYMBOL, A_FLOAT, 0);
Basically, these two lines are saying that the "connect" message is
expected to be in 'ssiiii' format. s = symbol, i = integer. So
basically, two symbols (#X connect) and four integers (0 1 0 0)
g_editor.c: binbuf_addv(b, "ssiiii;", gensym("#X"),
gensym("connect"),
g_readwrite.c: binbuf_addv(b, "ssiiii;", gensym("#X"),
gensym("connect"),
First try throwing extra ints in the #X connect messages in a .pd
file, and see if that works. Then try getting those ints in Pd.
