so how do you determine whether the loop is an infinite one? and who will pay the numerous custodians in the galleries needed to click on "yes, i really want this loop?". that's not to say, that it would be nice to be able to halt the virtual machine without quitting Pd. it would also be nice to have a step-debug mode... fadr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuJg50ACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvQELQCgs9/mN+RXnX4MSkdDm3U3J6J+ SGUAnRlLDgrmjIh3zCFHEVUbBnkkpc2g =t3F3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
