g'day all, excuse me if this has been covered before. Im wishing to extend
the PMAX value in csound. Currently its default is 150 (giving you 149
possible values in a table). I'm needing 800+ .

I am storing floating point numbers in a gen 2 table to transpose grains
in a fog instrument-

f20.00 0 1024.00 -2  1.03 1.05 1.07 1.08 1.06 1.09 1.09 1.15 .... 

I tried setting PMAX to higher values in my cs.h file and recompiling 
but this has not extended PMAX to anything higher than 150.:

sorting score ...
sread: instr pcount exceeds PMAX
         sect 1 line 3
      remainder of line flushed
        ... done

 Is there another step involved or am I barking up the wrong tree?

It's not a permanent solution but I store floats in a soundfile (using a
separate program) and use table to read them if I REALLY need more than 150
p-values.
