Opening maxpat file on pc
I created a patch on version 5 of max on a mac and cannot open on with version 4.5 on my pc. I am constantly told that .maxpat is not a valid Win32 application. Does anyone know a way around this?
Max 5 format files (with the .maxpat extension) will not open in Max 4.x on any system. You can try Fredrik Olofsson's conversion tool which runs in SuperCollider. You can find it here: http://www.fredrikolofsson.com/pages/code-sc.html

Max 5 saves files in a format that is not compatible with Max 4.
Fredrik Olofsson's SuperCollider-based Max 5 to Max 4 conversion tool
is not too hard to use: http://www.fredrikolofsson.com/pages/code-sc.html
This tool does a pretty good job of converting, although there are Max
5 features that have no equivalents in Max 4.

On a mac you have to change the file extension back to the old max 4+ type. Can you do that on a pc?
