I received a patch from an artist and I'm supposed to get it to work in a show. However, the format was a ".mxb-build" which max does not recognize as a supported format. I tried to open it as a .mxb but I receive a "bad header" message, when I try to open it as text to resave I get "bad magic number". I also tried to open it in the runtime, as he suggested, but nothing happens.

I suggested he should convert the .mxb to .pat because this usually survives a plattform crossing from mac to pc, but he insisted it should work with the runtime on pc(he's a busy professor).

So my question is: is there some extension missing after the "-build"? or is there a special way how to open this format?

should I rewrite the header in a text editor and if so how?

Was it sent uncompressed via mail or the web?

I haven't found out why, but this screws things. Any uncompressed 

attachment to the list doesn't work for me here and I don't know why. He 

might just have to resend it zipped, or as text, best as text-zipped...

Also ask for the Max version he was using, though it should not matter
