[PD] Q: about PD data structures

[João Pais]

In the pd conv in Weimar I gave a workshop on data structures, where  
mainly I adapted Frank's tutorial and added content of my own. Afaik, this  
is the most accessible tutorial for data structures for now. I wanted to  
steal Frank's symbol-array as well, but since I didn't redo this workshop  
again, it's not included yet (although I used it for myself at some point).

You can find it at  
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6624940/data-s.workshop.jmmmp.zip

Data structures are vanilla-only, there aren't any extended objects that  
work with them.

You might be able to do what you want without data structures (probably  
much faster with a [coll], as they're cumbersome to program), but

Best,

Joao
