Hey man,
Well, I'm a dumbass for taking it personally! doh! That's OK though, now I realise the anger is about politics, somehow it seems a bit more normal!
The pdp thing was pdp and not pidip - that I know. But it does look like a 10.3.9 -> 10.4 migration issue more. I'll have 10.4 on my work machine soon, but if it works for you with XDarwin then I think we can be confident it was that.
What I've been doing with my patches at work is making an install script to put the externals I need to run the patch into Miller's PD, since I'm installing it on computers belonging to people who have no Unix or PD knowledge, and installing Launcher so they can double-click the .sh script when upgrades are ready. This way the OS can be tested and the correct versions installed - but that's probably pointless since we should all be using 10.4 I suppose. An installer is easier too!
Oh, how I love Linux... Best, Ed
