which is the best way to create a directory from within max on windows? i can't find the [mkdir] external on the internet and don't need/want the entire jamoma-package installed.

that works, nice. though a non-java external would be perfect.

mkdir should work with [DOShack] on Win, [shell] on Mac... if you're looking for C externals.

on this page the external is listed but you can download only the java class... ?

Hmmm... guess you should contact the developer. Maybe it's not supported after XP... Really though, Java should be just fine for something like mkdir. I also have a Java cross-platform shell object: http://www.zacharyseldess.com/software.html
