[PD-dev] Sending list of floats out an outlet

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

Thanks Krzysztof,

I think I'm getting somewhere, based on code from prepend in ggee (Thanks 
Guenter!) I'm not clear on how to use SETFLOAT to set multiple values in 
my atom array. Here is some of my code:

        t_atom f_out[9];
        t_atom* myf = f_out;

I can use SETFLOAT(myf,f); to set the first value of the list, but I 
don't know how to set multiple list atoms... (I tried running SETFLOAT 
multiple times with the same pointer, but different values and I get a 
list "2Consistency check failed: atom_string2" Where 2 is the second 
value I set via SETFLOAT. 

Pointers would be appriciated.
Thanks

The simplest possible example of outputing a list of floats would be helpful.
