[netclient] is part of maxlib. afaik, it should be found in
extra/maxlib. netpd/_chat.pd has a [declare] in order to add the path of
the maxlib folder. if it doesn't load, either [declare] on those
versions of pd-extended are broken or netclient was moved. i'll have a
look at that soon. probably it is just a matter of using an appropriate
[declare].

yeah, thanks for the report.

i am sorry, that you weren't able to use netpd. i am currently quite
busy with finishing my studies. i plan to spend more time on netpd (and
development) afterwards. then i would like also to fix the netpd.org
site, which was sadly spammed.
