> the best documentation can only be viewed by running Pd. Click on the
\"Pure Documentation\" menu item on the \"Help\" menu when you run Pd

My PD (0.40.1) has no such menu item. It has a \"html\" menu item which
links to the html documentation in the \\pd\\doc directory. Is that it?
So I guess the \"pdp\" subdirectory mentioned above is one that will be
installed into the pd/doc directory (of my coming-soon linux filesystem)
once one installs pdp.
But what the @#=BF?, I\'m not going to install linux, learn it and
download\'n\'compile pdp just to find out whether pdp is what I need or
not...

So, my question is. Can anybody suggest me where to find documentation ab=
out
pdp that I can browse on-line or at least without becoming a linux hacker=
?
Not necessarily a \"getting started\" guide (though that would be great),
but something one can understand without already knowing how pdp works.

Thank you in advance
Bye

Hi all,<BR><BR>I'd like to browse some documentation about PDP *before* I=
 install and try it.<BR>I have installed and used linux a few times years=
 ago, and I will soon do that again, but right now I am a poor window use=
r.<BR>So, before I install linux and refresh myself about how to use it, =
and donwload pdp and find out how to compile it...<BR>Before all that, I =
would like to be able to learn a bit about pdp, get an idea of what it is=
 and how it works etc.<BR>Some sort of introduction.<BR><BR>On PDP's offi=
cial (I guess?) page <A href=3D"http://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/pdp/doc/">htt=
p://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/pdp/doc/</A>&nbsp;&nbsp;I didn't find very much.=
 Even the "introduction" paragraph is quite difficult to understand for s=
omeone that has no idea of what pdp is and what packet forth is... like m=
