After a lot of Jamie's help I finally got a gem CVS version to work

Anyhow I have pix_multiblob working, and I was trying to use the help patch but it seems that the pd extended RC7 does not include mtx_*

accessed as [iemmatrix/mtx_*]...I don't think this issue is really
covered in the docs, certainly not in the RC* series, so this is a
major documentation oversight, IMHO...
mtx_* is not included because filesystems don't generally like "*" in
files. I think there is another alias like mtx_mul. Someone should
make a version of mtx_* using IOhannes' hex loader patch, that would
solve this.
...the ReadMe.html also only lists a few of the included libs and
versions, with no mention of how to access anything from, say zexy...
There is a fair amount of stuff on this list, and in
http://puredata.org/docs/developer but yes there should be more docs,
but I won't have time to write them for a while.
