Is there anyway to have aliases when using externals in separate files? (i.e. receive = r, prepend = pp, etc).
yes,
link the file to an alias eg. ln -s prepend.pd_xxx pp.pd_xxx add a second setup function in prepend.c: void pp_setup() { prepend_setup(); }
One last issue: Windows links/shortcuts. I tried a few experiments and I couldn't get it to work with Shortcuts. I know there is a way to do hard links in Windows NT/2k/XP but I don't remember how, and its basically never used. If Pd was running under Cygwin, then this would work since Cygwin supports Shortcuts as symlinks.
