[PD] cumulative distribution?

[pete mcpartlan]

thanks Tebjan,

but...its not half a cosine because it has to flatten out at both ends.

and secondly i have no idea how to take an equation like that and 
implement that in pd... maybe i didnt explain that i'm not too good at 
all that maths stuff...

thanks,

pete
