[PD] Any way to convert numeric symbols to floats?

[Roman Haefeli]

hello luke$

i don't have a real solution at hand right now, but you could send the
numbers over a socket using a [netsend]/[netreceive]-pair. if you strip
the symbol selector before sending, the [netreceive] interprets numeric
values as floats.
