this isn't actually a direct reply to that message.. but reading it made me think of something. has anybody tried writing a VST instrument plugin interface for PD? it would be great to be able to run PD as a VSTi in cubase or something similar.... would this be really tough?

Thanks Tom/Frank/Akira Abe for your replies,
firstly if I find any solution to life as we know it I promise I will let you know... My usage of pd is not music based so I'm sure I would be unwise to go down the VST plugin route, the other pieces of s/w that I want to use involve C/C++ APIs, interfaces implemented in a very similar way to those in the DirectSound API itself, interfaces which support COM objects - thus my highly windows restricted application (although it is promised that COM objects will be portable in the future???)... ... also my resources are limited....so I am trying (I suppose) to use functional C/C++ chunks of pd that I can insert into the controlling VC++ application. I don't require the GUI part of pd and therefore do not want pd to run as is, possibly I could use STK more easily in this fashion but pd seems to have more of what I require. It seems to me that through portaudio pd is creating the DirectSound COM objects, through the API, and once created surely I can use them?
Its Sunday and I am possibly more than a little confused....
thanks again - everything/ anything is a great help
ps how would using Linux help me get a license for ReWire? pps Jack is interesting, how do I get info on the linux interface? ppps am I on the wrong list?! (pd-list not pd-dev??)
