How does one make the open flag on NT work. The path that gets passed appears to have '' replaced by '/', which means it won't work too hot on Windows machines. I vaguely remember reading something about this in the past, but heck if I can remember or find where I read it in the first place. I'm running pd 3.0 if it matters. Thanks in advance.
You should just be able to type, "pd -open \foo\bar\x.pd" or, from the same directory as the patch, just "pd -open x.pd". I think you can also specify drives as in "c:\foo\bar\x.pd". You can use either forward or backward slashes.

P.S. on your other question, if you can find tcl/tk for BEOS, you can probably port Pd to it easily enough. You'd have to replace s_linux.c with the equivalent for BE.

- seemingly, the "-open" flag still won't work under "NT"; what will
work (and was discussed earlier on this list) is not using any flag for opening at all. for examples try "pd myfile.pd" (instead of "pd -open myfile.pd"); a more complex example would be "pd -myflag -lib mylib myfile.pd"
- if you remembered "vaguely" something discussed on the list, you
might find the search engine for the pd-list useful; have a look and try " http://iem.mhsg.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list "; note that you shouldn't search for "-open", since this will output all the files that do NOT contain "open"; just search "open" and "flags";me thinketh that the problem was discussed in november
