[PD] Manual conversion of a Pure Data file in Max/MSP

[Andy Farnell]

I think the question here is "how can I tell which order they were connected
in the Pd patch" (in order to rebuild it in Max). I am unsure about this, but
as I said on the forum - read the Pd file because the order of the connection
matrix is the order of creation. But since the *evaluation order* is undefined
I don't really think this will help.
