[PD] numbers over 6 digits--URGENT!!

[adrian goya]

mmmh,,, well, actually, I think it´s pretty much ok for what I´m doing, I
just need to find the best way to make it work. The thing is that the
register form has a GEM window in the background where a PMPD patch reacting
to keystrokes make spheres dance around your textextruded name as you input
your data and the camera changes position when each field is being written.
Looks ok.
For a non-programmer who doesn´t know what a string is, Pd´s open and
non-presumtive design is still a great tool just waiting to be
explored...(if you have the time for it, i suppose)
