hello list, I am using Max/Msp/nato for about 2 years now and want to make a step to pd/gem in order to use inexpensive computer equipment for video installations. I installed pd on a pc with win98. after running the gem installer pd still cannot find the gem objects. (When I open a gem testpatch pd doesn't initialize the connections). Some advice what I did wrong? Thanks for your help. John.

hi ! the gem installer only installs the documentation (and only correctly, if you extracted the gem-folder to be drive:\folders\PD\GEM :: it is a very simply script) you have to (manually) copy the file "Gem.dll" into a path that is searched for by pd: pe the path drive:\folders\PD\EXTRA, then you have to load the Gem-library, either by adding "-lib Gem" to your command-line , or by trying to create an object, called "Gem" (pd will bail out to not being able to create an objet Gem, but never mind, it is only important that you can read lines similar to
GEM: Mark Danks GEM: ver: 0.84-5 GEM: compiled: Jun 23 2001
an alternative would be to just add "-lib drive:\where\is\GEM\gem" to your command line
