+maxlib - music analysis extensions library, version 1.5.2
+copyright (c) 2002-2003 by Olaf Matthes
+
+maxlib is a library of non-tilde externals for pd (by Miller Puckette).
+
+The objects can be very useful to analyse any musical performance. Some
+of the objects are 'borrowed' from Max (they are not ported but
+rewritten for Pd - cheap immitations).
+maxib has recently been extended by objects of more general use and some 
+which can be use for composition purposes.
+
+To compile maxlib on win32 (using VC++ 6.0) just type "nmake pd_nt" or use
+the MS VC++ project provided. On Linux simply do "make pd_linux" and "make 
+install". 
+You have to modify the makefile to make it point to your m_ph.h !!! 
+
+To use maxlib place the file maxlib.dll for win32 or maxlib.pd_linux 
+in a directory of your choise and start pd with '-lib path/to/maxlib' flag. 
+
+On windows you can run install.bat to copy all files to the apropiate places.
+This assumes that you have pd installed in c:\pd\ ! The maxlib directory will
+then be c:\pd\externs\maxlib\
