I know, I am already too old for posting feature requests. I was just thinking that I miss the ability to damp the speed of masses in msd.
right now I am using something like
mass mass1 1 100 0 0
mass mass2 1 100 1 0
link l mass1 mass2 10 10 0 0.01 0
link l 1
I want that the masses reject each other within a certain range and then just reduce speed and stop if the speed is lower than a certain threshold.
probably I should try to implement this myself. but maybe I am only missing something.

Are you looking for some kind of "air resistance" damping?  I normally
use an "nlink" or "tlink" to add a global damping to masses.

I am not quite sure how nlinks and tlink work. tLink seems to work with a vector that is not related to the current link vector but to absolute x/y, maybe nLink is what I need? but nlinks do not work for me at all, or are they no real links or is this a bug?
tLink with a vector 1/1 seems to be the same as the plain link message. correct? and there seems to be no difference between a tLink 1/1 and a tLink 2/2?

I tried to use tLink to get global damping, but I am not sure how to do this (attached patch..)
