I don't think that that's necessary in order to get .pdrc files working
on Windows. Windows can have a home dir set like UNIX, so it could just
as easily go there. But it would probably make sense to have a .pdrc file in the App dir, but perhaps it should then have a different name,
like pd.rc or pd.conf.
i fully agree with having another pdrc-file that can be used system-wide. e.g: our setting is a s follows: ew have tons of computers (with different hardware) and tons of students (with "different software"). home-directories are shared between all the computers. so it would ease maintainance if there was some system-specific pdrc-file (on unix systems i would vote for /etc/pdrc or /etc/pd/pdrc) and user-specific files in there home (btw: i always thought that there is some "home"-directory on windows; at least there is some "Applications and Settings" directory (on
=w2k); is this not available t opd somehow due to the "DOS"-mode of pd ?)
the users-preferences should overwrite the system defaults. (but why ? it just makes more sense to me), but they should really be merged.
and being at this, we would like a command flag "-rcfile <file>" to solely use another rcfile.
