thanks martin .. tried it ...little joy ..i have to fix it first..&nbsp; <br>one more question though.. are you sure the [mrpeach/updrecieve] is included in the mac osx version.. or does it need the GEM library ? apart from the gem library, pd loads all the included 
<br>libraries on this machine. But it wont create a [mrpeach/updrecieve] object.. any clue to what <br>is wrong here would be magnificient.. <br><br>best<br><br>alexandre<br>
