my .pdrc doesnt have any other gate specified, however I do have a gate.pd_darwin in my extra(s), but that has always been there with my install of PD. (at least with 0.37.1).
since it seems my 'gate' object is non-standard, 1) why is it included in the OS X installer package, if it can potentially break others patches/not work with their PD?. 2) where can one get either switch (im not using msp chains so I dont/cant use switch~) or the version of gate that allows for n>2 outlets with an int specified for the selected outlet to open and 0 to close all? 3) see points 1. and 2. =)
sorry to be a pain, id just like to know that if I distribute a patch it will work!
thanks all.

Hi.
Hi
forgive me for this one, but im confused. Im working on a patch thatuses gate, on OS X. pretty standard:
dkp$ /usr/local/bin/pd -version reading startup file: /Users/dkp/.pdrc Pd version 0.37.1 compiled 08:32:43 Mar 4 2004
Your .pdrc will tell you which libraries your Pd is loading.
[gate 15]
I get 15 outlets and I send an in to the outlet I want open. happyjoy. However i sent the patch to someone running PD on linux, theirgate only has one output. is it possible I have somehow installed a3rd party gate (or they have?) Am I insane?
I have used a [gate] from IEMLIB with two inlets and one outlet, that works for anything like [spigot] does for floats, ie 1/0 at the right inlet enables/disables message passthrough from the left inlet to the outlet.
I don't know how the multiple outlet [gate] works. I use [demux] from Gridflow to route an input to one of a number of outlets.
I dont have a [switch] (which is usually the max object id use..).
I don't have [switch] either.
Pd has a built-in [switch~] which enables/disables DSP for that patch and can change DSP block size and overlap.
This one must be obvious, so im probably missing something (or theyare.. ?). oh well.
There exists at least two incompatible [gate] objects in the Pd universe.
