But my main point about Pet Rocks is that there are no operators for symbols in Pd Vanilla aside from measuring equality. -Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- > From: Frank Barknecht <f...@footils.org> > To: pd-list@iem.at > Cc: > Sent: Sunday, November 4, 2012 5:52 AM > Subject: Re: [PD] Licensing issues (was rjdj is gone, robotcowboy is coming > ...) > > Hi, > > On Sat, Nov 03, 2012 at 07:48:45PM -0700, Jonathan Wilkes wrote: >> That's a bit like having an abstraction to make an array of Pet Rocks. >> What do you use it for? > > Everywhere you need to translate an index number into an arbitrary symbol.
