I know PD can do visual output through Gem, but in exploring Gem I couldn't figure out an easy way to have the branching paths work, whereas branching paths in PowerPoint or in a homemade program could be relatively easy. Likewise, through searching the email archive, most of the information I could find on communication between PD and other programs was on sending data *to* PD, rather than *from* PD. If there's a thread in the archive or a manual/guide explaning what I'm looking for, I'd be happy to read through it if someone points me in the right direction.
well [netsend] will send the data over a _very_ simple protocol (FUDI), which is just plain-text; so you could easily parse it in your homemade application.
if you don't care to write the server-code, you can use the "pdreceive" application which will get the data from [netsend] and then pipe it into your program.
