Hi
Samuel described how to load libraries. Externals are loaded automatically the same way abstractions are loaded.
This means you can put the externals in the same folder where your patch is and pd will load it.
Another possibility is to put is into the "extra" folder of the pd distribution (this folder is searched automatically for externals) or you can choose your own folder to put your externals and add that with the -path command line switch
pd -path c:\myexternals
Greetings,
Guenter

Hi,
You have just got to put the file in a directory ( for instance "externalDirectory" ) and next, you run pd with the command line :
C:\audio\pd\bin\pd.exe -lib c:\ pathTotheexternalDirectory \ name of the external without the extension ( external.dll become external)
or you can make a bat file to run each time pd with all your externals

Hi there, Can anyone tell me where I can find instructions on how to use/import?
externals in pd. I've found lots of externals on the web that do exactly what I want but there seems to be no info at all on how to actually use them... ???
Im running on both Windows 2000 and xp pro. Thanks
