It seems that the "resynching audio" problem is not confined to the SB

Live driver. I installed PD under W98 on my notebook that has an ESS sound card and had the same problem.

Yuck. OK, I'd better make some kind of flag thing. I can probably get it out this weekend...

Finally, is there a way in PD to read the parallel and serial ports?

There isn't yet. There's a hack to write to the serial ports that uses TK's serial command; I don't know if it would be easy or not to do input the same way; timing wouldn't be too great though.

It would be great to have "externs" to handle serial and parallel ports... I don't have any serial or parallel devices to test them on.

PS Oh yes, to compile in Microsoft C version 5.0, remove all the ".obj" files, change the include and library paths in the makefile, and it should go.
