If every cyclone external has already been loaded before your patch loads, then there's no problem.

The problem comes when Pd tries to search for a binary to load-- for example, when you type a name into an object box that Pd doesn't know.  If that name has characters that can't appear in a filename (like "<") then you need to have hexloader loaded already.

Jonathan, I don't ever need [hexloader] with the cyclone objects, because I don't even have it in my latest vanilla.

So, apparently, because the way it was build, it just loads without these issues and seemingly will load in any OS as I've been saying.

cheers
