[PD] Problems with oscformat (and oscparse?) and slashes

[Dan Wilcox]

See [n_oscformat] in rc-patches which is a wrapper for [oscformat] that accepts mrpeach style messages and sets the address for you.

Also, if you are just now switching from mrpeach or the original OSC objects, I made a little turtorial when I was learning Miller's new design approach,
 see mrpeach-to-vanilla-osc.pd in:
