Actually I think it can still be used (for instance, fork the comms to a separate file and use a text editor to see what happened. Also, I use the subprocess in 'ascii' mode to show people how the synchronization works - it can be run in ascii mode right from the command line.
So still useful, at first for ease of debugging, but now primarily didactically.

As others have said, Pd originally only used ASCII mode and binary mode has been introduced later to avoid loss of precision. The ASCII mode has not been designed to help with debugging.
As Miller said, there is no real reason to ever use "-ascii". I don't think we need to document it at all.

   I think it's worth documenting it as a debuting tool, since that's what it's there for, as far as I can tell for Miller's response.
I tried the flag and I couldn't really see any difference... Miller also said "/one should always use the default, binary connection./" so I really don't know what to do here... if I could at least have seen the difference when I tried it...
you need a network analysing tool to see the difference. (I use wireshark)
oh, well no. It was to early in the morning! pd~ did not use a socket, so you can't see anything with wireshark. sorry cheers c

but anyway, I can just go ahead and write exactly something you people think it's best, just tell me here what to say => https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_pure-2Ddata_... <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_pure-2Ddata_...

   Not sure it's worth documenting then... I should test and see it for myself    how it works so I actually get it.
   keeping it as a hidden feature for now.
