+Description:  a Pd library of clones of Max/MSP 4.5 objects
+ Cyclone is a library of PureData classes, bringing some level of
+ compatibility between Max/MSP and Pd environments. Although being itself in
+ the early sta ge 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.
