Digging thru my backlog... in Pd-extended there is
hcs/version tcl/tcl_version ggee/getdir
I agree, it would be nice to have the About Pd page be a Pd patch. If you make one, I'll include it in Pd-extended 0.43.
Ok, here's a 1st attempt. It would look a lot better if I used [entry] to display the Pd version (and possibly tcl version) but that object is too buggy to use.
The links work assuming about.pd lives in doc/5.reference.
Btw- /usr/lib/pd-extended/LICENSE.txt, referred to in the current "about pd" textfile, doesn't exist on my machine.

I like the sparks and credits animation! Where is this file designed
to go in the file system? I think probably the best place would be in
lib/pd/doc/about.pd
.hc

replace the "Help->About Pd" textfile with a pd

be clickable. (Also, it would then be possible to do
some rolling credits,
as often happens in an "About this Software" window.)
