		+	=== Q: Relocating files, speeding up loading of many small sound files ===
		+	I'm changing computers and many of my Catart
		+	patches use thousands of audio files, going through the sf.tex files changing
		+	the adresses by hand as I have in the past for smaller projects would take a
		+	month...
		+
		+	How can I do this in a more efficient manner?
		+
		+	'''A:''' That's what the reexport message to catart.data is for:
		+	it writes corpus files back to where they were imported from, thereby replacing the sound file paths with the actually found absolute paths, thus speeding up loading the next time.
		+
		+	I.e. first import each corpus and make sure the sound files are in Max's search path, that will just take longer for many files, then reexport.

		+
		+	To install the source distribution:
		+
		+	# Unzip <tt>cataRT-x.y.z.zip</tt> anywhere on your harddisk.
		+	# Add the unzipped directory <tt>cataRT-x.y.z</tt> to the Max/MSP search path, using ''File Preferences...'' in the ''Options'' menu.
		+	# Start the main patcher <tt>cataRT-x.y.z.maxpat</tt>.
		+
		+	The source distribution as a collection of patches (downloadable from http://imtr.ircam.fr) runs under Max/MSP 5.1 on Mac or Windows, with FTM version 2.5 or higher installed from http://ftm.ircam.fr.

 === Q: How do I control the target position for selection by an external controller? ===
 '''A:''' There are two ways, either via the lcd in 2D using the <code>setpos</code> message with coordinates between 0 and 1 (as in the MIDI-control subpatch), or via <code>catart.select</code> in nD, but you need to map to descriptor values, as explained in the [http://imtr.ircam.fr/imtr/CataRT_Internals_Documentation CataRT internal documentation].
 === Q:  When is [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] going to be available on Max 5? ===
 '''A:''' Updated March 2009: '''CataRT does work on Max5!!!'''  Thanks to the tremendous work of Norbert and Riccardo, the [[Download#Experimental Versions | FTM version 2.5 alpha 5]] is out, that makes CataRT run fully functional under Max5!  There might be a few error messages on startup that can be ignored.
