Not all operating systems like the '<' and '>' in the object names

I'm aware there's some issue of OS not liking such object names, but I don't get it.

For example, [<] and [>] are vanilla objects, don't they load in every OS?

They load because they are built-in so Pd doesn't need to go to the OS filesystem to find them. It's only when the name is used as part pf a path (like C:/pd/extra/<~.dll) that the problem shows up. I would suggest using [lt] and [gt] for 'less than' and 'greater than' as is done in many assembly languages.
