I have downloaded the [netsend] and [netreceive] externals here:

On OS X 10.4.11, Max 4.6, I always get "netreceive: no such object" in the console ... In the downloaded package, the file has no extension and is labelled "Unix Executable File". Adding a "mxo" extension doesn't change anything ...

Sorry I don't have my Windows machine here so I can't tell you about the Windows version :(

Did you download the correct version for the Max version you are using?

I downloaded the "netsend-1.1test7-Max46ub.dmg" version, for using on a Mac Intel, with MaxMSP 4.6.3 ...

I also just did that and all looks fine inside. The two externals are in 

the build folder. Are you sure they shop up without extension? Or do 

they show up as folders and you have extension-less binary files in 

there? In that case you have an application (like SubEthaEdit) installed 

that has an entry for .mxo in the file type registry. For some reason it 

seems to only affect my externals. There must be some magic other people 

do that it doesn't happen for their externals.

You are right. I uninstalled SubEthaEdit and downloaded your externals again. They don't show up as folders anymore and I can use them in Max. Thanks a lot for your help.

you have to include the PkgInfo file in the .mxo bundle.

have a look in any of the standard distro externals to see what this
