I read two Wikipedia articles, and I still have no idea what this means. One could conceivably run Linux under Pd? Or the internet? wild.

Hi everybody,
Remember those long discussions about whether Pd is a programming language or (an inferior) something else?
Well, to settle the matter, I made a brainf*ck[1] interpreter in vanilla Pd using no externals[2].
Now you can be sure that you can compute anything computable[3] using your favourite multimedia tool!
As Pd's string handling sucks, output is a printout of the decimal value of each character.
Keyboard input is through [key], so you enter characters fairly naturally (wait for the yellow signal before you type each character). There is no way to indicate end-of-file.

[2] As Pd's string handling sucks, you need to convert your .bf source code into decimal form before loading it. A simple C program "decdump.c" to do this is attached.
[3] Provided it can be computed within the memory available, which in this interpreter is 1,000,000 cells each being an integer from 0 to 255 inclusive.
