Thanks Miller,

I did not explian my problem concisely. I have a PD external (in C) which 
has a struct which contains the starting condisions of the system. These 
variables are set in the lorenz_new method. Then each invocation of the 
"lorenz" method actually calculates one interation of the algorithm. My 
problem is that when I have more than one object the construction of the 
second instance of the object reset the conditions of *both* instances. 
How do give two instances of the same PD external different data-spaces? 

I'll send my ocde if I'm not being clear enough.

Thanks
Ben
