I just got back to school, went and looked for it, unfortunatly, i couldnt
find it anymore. Just some very early prototypes that only did the link
between GriPD & PD.

Basically what it did was the following: the textbox object in GriPD is
excellent, cause you can use that as the part of the chat client that you
type your message on.

You then put into your pd path an [r keystroke] folowed by [unpack 0 0] and
then [select 13]
have that bang to a message {send} which connects to [s rtextbox0]
This outputs the textbox0 contents. You can then just ahve a [r stextbox0]
at the receiving end, and put that in a [s rtext0] so that GriPD displays
that in a separate box. (also connect this to [print send:] so that you can
review your previous messages.

Now if you have more then one user, make some radio buttons in GriPD,
connect these radio buttons in your pd patch to some ip's and yer done.
ofcourse you have to setup netreceive.

ps Ill ask some former co-workers if they still use/have the patch.
