Hmmm, well to be honest, I use PD-extended on WinXP, and cyclone has always been broken. Nobody ever seemed to respond with any idea why it doesn't work. However, I'm going to do some new tests because things may be fixed since I checked last. I'll test your ojects also.
What is the legal status of a program that mimics another programs functions, but does not copy any of the actual source code or guts? I suppose in this case, asking permission would be a simple courtesy? Some of the objects are (c) Essl, but I was thinking more along the lines of a clone.
However, even so, it would be nice to get Essl's permission/interest because perhaps he would put a link on his site. He makes some great music.
I see you were going to use the actual max patches, I've never tried to load a max patch in PD. That wasn't my plan, but if we can do that, even better I guess. I'm sure then we WOULD definitely want permission.

I started porting RTC to Pd already, but lost track of it after one
afternoon. It's actually not hard to do:
You use [cyclone] to import the Max patches by starting "pd -lib
cyclone", creating a [cyclone] object and clicking on it.
Thein you clone the missing objects, several of which are already done
in [list]-abs, so you can just create wrapper abstractions using the
names they have in RTC-lib. The missing objects then need to be
patched by hand, some are also available as externals.
Attached is the small handful of patches I already did (prepent.pd is
missing, it's just [list prepend $1]---[list trim])
I think, one should also ask Karlheinz Essl for permission to do this
in the end, though I guess he won't mind.
Ciao
