I made a small modification to my ascii externals, to better detect floats. I would have to restart from scratch at some point, but it works... Its strange makefile is still working with Flext 0.4.7. A binary for Gnu/Linux is included, statically linked with Flext. I don't know if it compiles on Windows or OSX. You can find this new version 0.1.2 here: http://www.puredata.info/Members/odradek/ascii -- Marc
