+cyclone
+-------
+
+Cyclone is a library of PureData classes, bringing some level of compatibility
+between Max/MSP and Pd environments.  Although being itself in the early stage
+of development, it is meant to eventually become part of a much larger
+project, aiming at unification and standardization of computer musician's
+tools.
+
+In its current form, cyclone is mainly for people using both Max and Pd, and
+thus wanting to develop cross-platform patches.  In this respect, cyclone has
+much in common with Thomas Grill's flext, and flext-based externals.  See
+Thomas' page.  While flext enables developing new cross-platform classes,
+cyclone makes existing classes cross-platform.
+
+Cyclone also comes handy, somewhat, in the task of importing Max/MSP patches
+into Pd.  Do not expect miracles, though, it is usually not an easy task.
+
+The entire cyclone library, which might be preloaded with either -lib cyclone
+or -lib maxmode option, consists of:
+
+ * the main hammer and sickle sub-libraries, containing Pd versions of,
+   respectively, Max and MSP classes;
+
+ * cyclone sub-library, taking care of loading hammer and sickle, and which
+   itself contains: a small set of operators (!-, !/, ==~, !=~, <~, <=~, >~,
+   >=~, !-~, !/~, %~, +=~); an importing mechanism provided by the cyclone
+   class.
+
+ * optional dummies sub-library, which contains a large set of dummy classes,
+   serving as substitutions for Max/MSP classes not (yet) implemented in
+   cyclone;
+
+ * maxmode sub-library, which imposes strict compatibility mode, and loads all
+   the other components, including dummies.
+
+The two main sub-libraries might be loaded separately, by using -lib hammer
+and/or -lib sickle options.  There is also a possibility of loading any single
+class from hammer or sickle library dynamically (this feature is only
+available in the linux snapshot).
+
+Currently, the hammer part contains: accum, acos, active, anal, Append (more
+info), asin, bangbang, bondo, Borax, Bucket, buddy, capture, cartopol, Clip,
+coll, comment, cosh, counter, cycle, decide, Decode, drunk, flush, forward,
+fromsymbol, funbuff, funnel, gate, grab, Histo, iter, match, maximum, mean,
+midiflush, midiformat, midiparse, minimum, mousefilter, MouseState, mtr (more
+info), next, offer, onebang, past, Peak, poltocar, prepend (more info), prob,
+pv, seq (more info), sinh, speedlim, spell, split, spray, sprintf, substitute,
+sustain, switch, Table (more info), tanh, thresh, TogEdge, tosymbol, Trough,
+universal, urn, Uzi, xbendin, xbendout, xnotein, xnoteout, and zl.
+
+The sickle part contains: abs~, acos~, acosh~, allpass~, asin~, asinh~, atan~,
+atan2~, atanh~, average~, avg~, bitand~, bitnot~, bitor~, bitshift~, bitxor~,
+buffir~, capture~, cartopol~, change~, click~, Clip~, comb~, cosh~, cosx~,
+count~, curve~, cycle~, delay~, delta~, deltaclip~, edge~, frameaccum~,
+framedelta~, index~, kink~, Line~, linedrive, log~, lookup~, lores~, matrix~
+(more info), maximum~, minimum~, minmax~, mstosamps~, onepole~, peakamp~,
+peek~, phasewrap~, pink~, play~, poke~, poltocar~, pong~, pow~, rampsmooth~,
+rand~, record~, reson~, sah~, sampstoms~, Scope~, sinh~, sinx~, slide~,
+Snapshot~, spike~, svf~, tanh~, tanx~, train~, trapezoid~, triangle~,
+vectral~, wave~, and zerox~.
+
+Cyclone comes without any documentation.  All the included patches were
+created merely for testing.
+
+Caveats:
+
+* The binaries provided in this snapshot release are not expected to run
+  inside of a pre-0.36 version of Pd, without prior recompiling.
+
+* If a single -lib cyclone startup option is used, cyclone in turn loads its
+  two main components: hammer and sickle.  If a single -lib maxmode startup
+  option is used, all the remaining library components are going to be loaded:
+  cyclone, hammer, sickle, and dummies.  In these cases, all the required
+  libraries should be accessible by Pd.
