Yeah, I know...I was getting rather sick of the particle system patch, 
and didn't have time to even test all the demo files. :-(
I'm writing new ones for the next version, those were more of feature

They are plain text files, the problem is that Mac and Windows have 
different line endings.

Well, you can find a decent text editor that can handle the different 
line endings, or wait for the new version which will be in HTML to get 
around this problem.

I'll put some more up when I update my web page, sometime soon 
(hopefully this weekend). The only images on my web site now are:
