did I say something wrong? there are several counter objects. but none built into Pd. and yes, I was refering to the max counter-objectclass, because that is how the thread started. the max version can count up and down (and also up&down), has optional startig and end position and can be reset, it also has an outlet that tells you when you reached the maximum number and also when it reached the minimum/starts recounting. the closest pd version is from cyclone. and counter *is* useful. marius.

I just want to mention that a counter object does more than just adding numbers...
if it does, than afaik the _only_ language that has a "counter" built-in is max/msp. which makes me think that it is not so immensily useful as one would think, and Pd is probably right by not having a counter of it's own. (which, btw, coinicides nicely with my opinion anyhow...)
