Thanks for the tutorial. Unfortunately I can't get it to work. :( It wasn't labeled but I presume it's a pd patch so I added the appropriate extension and tried opening it in pd. Unfortunately Pd doesn't like it and shows its disaproval by crashing.
error: tut/: no such object
"tut" is a folder which gets created when you unpack the archive (you did do that, right? Do *not* open tut.tgz itself in Pd, unpack first.)
You should start with "00-tut.pd" inside of it, then 01-tut.pd and so on.

I see now. WinImp isn't up to the task of unzipping tgzs, it seems. I
bit the bullet, downloaded Winzip instead and used that to get at the
archive. Why tgz and bz2 files can't be recognised in Windows by
default, I don't know. Anyway, I'm having a look through it now and
I'll have a real crack at it over the weekend. Thanks for the info.
I'll let you know what my experiences are. I'm quite looking forward to
seeing just how versatile this stuff can be. :)

Yes, that's a pity. The archive format is open, free and is used on Unix systems for literally decades...
I think, 7-zip is popular among Windows-users: http://www.7-zip.org/ If you stay with Pd, you might encounter .tgz a lot in the future. ;)
I hope you like the tutorial. It's not quite finished, but AFAIK has helped some other users so far, too.
