uuuuuhhhhhh... i think that was it, hope i did not miss any.
a lot of them look to be same (same file size at least) but some of them 
are different.
is this a feature or it should be like this?
how do i know witch one PD is loading/using?
does this mean that PD can load a wrong help file for a 2 different 
externals?
maybe it would be time to fix this, or just make new names (i know that 
this can break some patches, but if PD load a "wrong" external it will 
also break a patch, or?)
any suggestions/ideas how to deal with this?

thanx and keep a good work
nikola
