Exactly. The two can now happily coexist next to each other. Just make 
sure not to mix and match externals compiled for one with the other 
(even though the jury is still out whether pd-l2ork can handle vanilla 
externals without crashing, something I suspect is likely but not 
proven). Either way, this should not be necessary since pd-l2ork ships 
with many (most?) externals included.

Very cool! Well, that explains why my ears were burning earlier today 
;-) Kidding aside, Tony is a really cool guy. Please tell him I said hi.

Best,

Ico

>> About Pd-L2Ork
>> Pd-L2Ork is a fork of the ubiquitous Pure-Data focusing on improved user interface, expanded collection of externals, and an advanced SVG-enabled graphical front-end. Originally it was introduced as the core infrastructure for the Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork http://l2ork.icat.vt.edu), and has since expanded to include K-12 learning module with a unique learning environment offering adaptable granularity that has been utilized in over dozen maker workshops and initiatives, including the Raspberry Pi Orchestra program for middle school children introduced in the summer 2014. Today, pd-l2ork is being developed by a growing number of international collaborators and contributors.
