[PD] scripting pd printouts

[Andy Farnell]

I'm gonna try Franks method too in a moment. What I ran
up against last night was this:

I have rather a large directory of pd file to print.

A method that loads Pd anew for each patch takes a "long" time.
And I still had the problem of closing each instance. I was going
to fork, get a PID and then kill from bash or perl.

But scripting many instances of Pd too fast caused some evil
crashes (on my machine at least).


Learning a lot about this thanks to all.
