I suppose you mean [netsend].

BTW, if you are looking for compatibility with the protocol used in the
"Arts' Birthday" project, [netsend] and [netreceive] are not compatible
with that, although they're very close. They lack two things:

  1. ability to omit semicolons at the end of messages
     (interpreting every newline as implicit semicolon)

  2. bidirectional sockets

This is why you have to use [pd_netsocket], which implements exactly those
two features, as I have originally written that external as my
contribution to Arts' Birthday, for the benefit of the students of
the University of Ottawa.
