for others not able to get IR data working with the aka.wiiremote 

in order to get around the limitations of the [aka.wiiremote] object 

not being able to track IR on a G4 laptop

the OSCulator app sends data on port 8000 (default)

[udpreceive 8000]->[OpenSoundControl]->[strtok /]->[sprintf]

I'm still working on building out the patch to massage the list data

but this has been slow-going since being on the road and busy with 

other non-Max programming projects for most of this year has left my 

so I'm still poking at the sprintf object trying to format incoming

Download the CNMAT Max/MSP/Jitter Depot here:

http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/MAX/downloads/

And look for "expr+sprintf-horrible-truth.pat" and "sprintf-tutor.mxb". They are both in /mmjdepot/tutors/. That's most of what I know about sprintf. Please make suggestions for improvements.
