okay. i found iem16 at ftp://ftp.iem.at/pub/pd/Externals/ (duh! the giveaway was the iem bit). it seems to run okay on my windows machine.
but is the only way to load something into the table16 object by copying from a regular pd array?
i'm trying to patch up a scratch pd array which every sample will visit before arriving at it's table16. but is there a more elegant solution similar to soundfiler for this?
thanks again.

PD uses 32bits natively (unless you compiled it especially for 64bit), so the iem16 stuff would halve the amount of RAM required, but at the slight expense of audio quality (doesn't matter if your files loaded into tables are 16bit, but for delay lines you might notice the decreased dynamic range).
also how can i calculate roughly how much RAM that pd will need per second of audio array/delay line etc.??
4 bytes per sample * 44100 samples per second (or whatever the sample rate is) for 32bit audio.
Plus a small constant (I hope) overhead for bookkeeping for each object.
