Hi
Im very new to Max and have just bought Max 6 for my windows vista pc. I need to send a patch i have made for submission to my university and was wandering if i need to do any conversions to allow the patch to be opened on their systems- using max 5 on a OS 10 operating system?
Thank you for you help
