+DMX512
+======
+
+controlling DMX from within Pd
+
+this readme assumes that you have a running dmx4linux setup.
+if not, read the README.dmx4linux.txt file for hints on how to
+get it going...
+
+A. compiling the Pd-objects
+===========================
+for this, change into the "./src" directory of the iem/dmx512/ folder
+(this might well be the folder that holds this README.txt you are currently
+reading)
+
+if you have obtained the source-code via subversion, you will first have to run
+% autoconf
+
+(this should not be needed if you downloaded the sources as a release tarball;
+that is: if the person who created the tarball has not forgotten to do it for you)
+
+then run
+% configure
+% make
+
+you should now have 2 binary files in the src/ folder called [dmxin] and [dmxout]
+
+
+B. Installation
+===============
+you should install the binaries (+helpfiles) somewhere Pd can find them.
+i would suggest to put them into
+ </path/to/pd>/extra/dmx512/
+and add this path to the startup-flags of Pd.
+
+
+C. Usage
+========
+there should be help-files in the ./help directory
+if not, the useage should be very similar to that of [ctlin] and [ctlout]
+(it's just using DMX512 instead of MIDI)
+
+
+D. Help!
