[PD] Recent PD/Gem on Windows

[me.grimm]

Yeah the error I got with Pd 0.47.1/ Gem 0.93.3 is:

"filmQT: Could not initialize quicktime: error -209"

I DID install Quicktime and error went away but again, Quicktime on Windows
is now depreciated so in the future....?

Also, Pd now resides on the Desktop which is where is will be in the lab,
at least for a few weeks. I had to make a relative shortcut to
..\bin\pd.exe with:

"%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start "" "%CD%\bin\pd.exe""

also to load Gem automatically (i do not know where plist,etc. type file is
on Windows to do this automatically) I added:

"pd_connect::pdsend "pd startup-dialog 0 + +Gem""

to my custom foo-plugin

Now at this point IT guys just have to cp folder to Desktop and students
can easy just open folder, click Pd shortcut, Gem loads, etc

Am I doing this all right?

So far everything seems to work OK. I am getting:

"Unable to connect filters -2147220969"

when loading [open ../data/homer.avi} which is the win32 example in
[pix_film] example..... In spite of this example DOES seem to work fine.

Will need more testing though.
