hi in windows you save a textfile as PDXYZ.bat then you can copy a link of that to your startmenu or desktop and just klick on it the commandline should be like you wrote, but you can only open one sounddevice for in and one for out (if you have a multichannel-card, use the lowest device.number of that card, the other channels should be switched on by -outchannels 4 (or 6...). marius.

Hi list,
How do I write a batch file to start pd? At the moment I go to properties of a ms-dos prompt shortcut - then to the program tab - I write in the command line where it says 'batch file:' but I can only write a short command line. I've tried writing a .txt file with the command line in it and putting a path to that where it says 'batch file:' Maybe I'm getting the format of the command line wrong in the text file I write: "c:\pd\bin\pd.exe -inchannels 4 -outchannels 4 -soundindev ,3 -soundoutdev 2,3" ? I'm using windows 98
Thanks for your help getting printing I now use http://www.pstill.com/ to convert the .ps files to .pdf files which i can print from adobe acrobat reader.
Thanks Rob
