hi,

i know that several people refuse .pdrc exactly because of ben's  
reason. wouldn't it be good to have the opportunity to load an  
arbitrary configuration file instead of .pdrc (via a parameter like -c  
<file>)

i just realise that it is anyway not very gnu how pd handles  
parameters. more usual/standard would be -p and --path, -o and --open.  
but that's not really this important...

hans : is the pd0.38 app to be placed in /applications or does it  
really work from everywhere now? i remember that it once was necessary  
for an osx build, but that was not yours, was it? as i told this to a  
number of people now i would definitely like to know :-)

lg
martin
