looks great

I would recommend Inno Setup ( http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ).
I looked at a bunch, including Nullsoft, when I did the Pd installer
for Windows and chose Inno. It works quite well and behaves just like
a native installer. Nullsoft's is a bit odd.

But even better than making an installer for Gem would be to
incorporate Gem into the Pd installer for Windows. Then you would not
have to answer all these tech support questions like "where should I
put the dll?", "how do I set up the path", etc. etc. It would just be
there.

The Inno Setup files are in CVS under packages/win32_inno

.hc

...

What's the prize?

hmm, i haven't thought about this yet. as you are the only candidate right now, i'll rather wait for some
other days, to give other people the chance to submit their answers. we'll see them

[random] ?

what do you mean by "word" ? numbers, just alpha-characters ?

[makefilename %c]

of course i would use some zexy objects like [l2s] and [repack], but i am sure, that there are other ways...

any hint about doing this would be appreciated.

i have another hint: when you start a new thread, please start a new thread and do not kidnap another one.

my mailer shows this email in the thread of "Gem-bin-0.90.1" is there any connection ?

i mean, it is not that hard to send a "new" email to "pd-list@iem.at"; you don't have to reply to some unrelated mail.

re,

I read:

hi! i want to make a patch that generates non-sense random words.

you mean random strings that could be words of some natural language or random sentences from predefined words, or just random strings ?

any hint about doing this would be appreciated.

depends on what you're after but I'd probably choose a different tool than pd for most of the above.

moin pun chik,

i have several patches that do this -- one perl-based system that communicates with Pd via either OSC or netsend/netreceive is available at:

http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~moocow/projects/saywhat/

the other system has dependencies about 5 levels deep, and as I haven't gotten around to cleaning up my patch library yet, hasn't yet been published -- they're basically just hacks that generate phone strings for use with ratts.

another (better) way to do this would be to use Markov models:

http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~moocow/projects/gfsm

http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~moocow/projects/pd/pd-gfsm-0.02.tar.gz

... of course, before you can use them you need to define your model, but that should be relatively straightforward (train it on letter sequences)...
