+BINARIES
+--------
+
+There are two included binaries:
+
+hid.pd_darwin = Darwin/PowerPC and Mac OS X
+hid.pd_linux = Linux/PowerPC
+
+
+
+COMPILING
+---------
+
+WARNING!! This build system in this directory is deprecated and no longer
+maintained!  "cd externals/ && make hid" is probably what you want now.  This
+is also part of the Pd-extended build system.
+
+The compiler needs to know where the Pd source is to find the headers, and the
+linker needs to know where the Pd binary is to check symbols.  You can either
+set these on the command line or edit the Makefile
+
+  make INCLUDE=/path/to/pd/src PDEXECUTABLE=/path/to/pd/bin/pd
+
+On GNU/Linux, this is likely to look like:
+
+  make INCLUDE=/usr/local/src/pd-0.38-2/src PDEXECUTABLE=/usr/local/bin/pd
+
+On Darwin/Mac OS X, this is like to look like:
+
+  make INCLUDE=/usr/local/src/pd/src PDEXECUTABLE=/Applications/Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd
+
+
+
+COMPILING A DEBUG VERSION
+-------------------------
+
+To compile a debug version, edit these lines in hid.c (about line 32):
+
+//#define DEBUG(x)
+#define DEBUG(x) x 
+
+Swap the commented lines so it looks like the lines above then recompile.
+
+
+INSTALL
+-------
+
+To install, you can add these lines to your .pdrc:
+
+-path /path/to/hid-0.5
+-helppath /path/to/hid-0.5
+
+Or you can copy the files to another place:
+
+mv *-help.pd examples/*.pd /path/to/doc/5.reference
