Installing PureData in Windows XP is as simple as downloading a zipfile and saving the extracted files somewhere in a folder where you like. You find the program itself in the subfolder /bin/pd.exe .
From there you can run it, or you can create a shortcut to somewhere else.
I also checked if we could indeed add our own blocks in C and that's OK, it's even possible in C++ or FORTRAN (whatever).
Now I'm running over a bunch of examples to learn working with the platform.
- a question that rises now is that for example a delay (even very pratical and complex ones) can be made in PureData without 'descending' to level of matlab language. Everything can be done at the higher level, they even got analysis blocks (but their complexity and functionality I must first research), so why bother with the matlab level?
This is a question for tomorrows weekly meeting.

about timing objects as delay and timer:
" Note that all time calculations are idealized;
they do not show the effects of computation time or OS latency. This way you can write deterministic algorithms dealing with time passage. "
