I'm running 4.5.1 - is there no way I can open patches made with newer versions of Max/MSP, it seems most people on here have a newer version.

I've been adding max v2; at the top and #P pop; at the bottom of saved txt files but it rarely works - either get the typical error or an open text file.

I've briefly looked thru the archives and but found no info other than - apparently there IS a way to do it - but its hard.

Can you open text files you created by yourself? What happens if you paste the text straight into the patcher window?

yeah, anything i've saved is fine - and some patches from the forum are fine as well - eg. in the recent posts - if the text file already has the 'max v2;' and '#P pop;' it will open fine - but if it doesn't it will open sometimes (more often not) if I add those prefix and suffix.

even if it is from the same user - I can open the patch posted by leafcutter john in the 'buffer creation via scripting' thread but not the patch he posted in the 'groove~ sync mental challenge' thread.

Also I don't know what you mean by pasting the text straight into the patcher window - tried opening a new patch and doing that - but nothing.

Upgrade to 4.5.7 or 4.6.2 (unless you have a performance tonight). 

There's a lot of improvements and it's a free update. Then you can

There's a lot of improvements and it's a free update. Then you can  
use the "New from clipboard" command.

But the update is free, for 4.5.1. Or do you need arguments to buy a 

license? There are student discounts by the way...

And I can tell you that every penny was invested well at least in my

case... ;-)
