It is possible. What, exactely is the problem ? (Error messages)
Something like "canŽt find CW3215.dll", and I suppose that all other program libraries wonŽt be found too (but because pd stops after this first error, maybe weŽll never know).So I guess, pd really does not realize where it is located itself and only works with the working-directory that is supported by Win95.
- Do self-made abstractions eat up all the ressources ?
(ThatŽs just because my Pentium wouldnŽt do some patches, and so did IEMŽs SGI!)
Yes, it is possible to program a patch to eat all resources. But generally it is a bad idea to do so.
Maybe I chose the wrong word : would *abstraction* fit better ? Since I did not want to eat up all the sources but IŽm sad to report that it happened.So my question, all in all, should have been like :
