How should one load externals into Max? Is it help files in help folder, then pat files in th patches folder, and the .dll in the max folder?

With Stefan Tiedjes' externals I can't find the .dll file, anyone know where it is hidden?

externals

I think, Stefan Tiedjes released some abstractions and not externals. 

So just put them in your search path and Max should find them without 

a problem. Now I admit I am only assuming since I never used Max on 

PC. But there's no .dll for abstractions, is there ?

Whats this search path malarky, is that the preferences menu?

Talking about .dll, i assume you're on windows. So :

There's no ".dll". The externals are .dll (shared library) with an .mxe

extension. If you mean the additionnal libraries (like mscv7x.dll and

such), they have to be in max folder, yes. The externals go to .Common

Yes that's it. add your externals to the Max externals folder, or 

best, create a folder to put your objects in somewhere on your HD and 

add the path to that folder in the Max preference window.

clearly stated there.

Max/Msp comes with the best documentation, tutorials an example of all 

the sofwares I know. It's probably time now to read them...

Max will for for files (abstractions, pictures, movies, sounds, coll, 

etc.) in the search path. You can add some pathes using the File 

Preferences... menu,. In this window, you'll also find a "Print" 

button, so you can have an idea about where Max will look for files.

No dll's necessary, its just a collection of abstractions, you can open 

Though I do have a XP machine somewhere around, I hardly use it. Please 

let me know if there are problems with running my collection on Windows. 

A new release is in the pipeline... I can throw in some bugfixes if 

necessary. (Applies also for the Mac version)

No dll's necessary, its just a collection of abstractions, you can open
