[PD] how to set variable types

[AshK]

I tried the same patch on MacOSX and Debian and it seems to be a bug on 
the Linux build : I'm sending the outlet of [f $1] to both a number box 
and a [print] and in Linux the print returns the right value but the 
number box stays at 0 (yes sorry for the precedent statement it is not 
actually empty, it displays 0) but that same patch in MacOSX displays 
the same value in both the print area and the number box. That's why I 
thought I wasn't sending the right type to the number box since 
something was coming out for [print] but not for the number box.

I built this pd extended from CVS about 2 months ago with help from Hans 
since it's on Linux/PPC and there were some problems. I guess I have to 
build it again.

and I thought I was going to make music today :) I'm going to buy a 
guitar...

thanks for your help
