+<h1>Pure Data Packet</h1>
+
+<h2>About</h2>
+
+<p>PDP is an extension library for 
+<a href="http://www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html">Pure Data</a>,
+providing video and other media processing functionality.  PDP's focus
+is on images and video, but there is support for matrix processing, 1D
+and 2D binary cellular automata and opengl rendering (like Gem).  PDP
+runs on Linux and OSX. The OSX version depends
+on <a href="http://fink.sourceforge.net/">Fink</a>.
+
+
+<p> For more image processing objects, streaming objects and a
+collection of very useful additions to the bare bones PDP
+functionality, have a look at Yves
+Degoyon's <a href="http://ydegoyon.free.fr/pidip.html">PiDiP</a>
+library.
+
+<p> PDP is currently in maintenance only mode.  After version 0.12 I
+  got ambitious and started writing 
+<a href="http://zwizwa.be/packetforth">Packet Forth (PF)</a>
+and <a href="http://zwizwa.be/staapl">Staapl</a>.  These projects
+address problems in the design of PDP, but are not in a state to be
+included back into PDP.  However, Packet Forth can be used as a
+Pure Data external.
+
+<p> For documentation, have a look at the 'pdp' subdirectory in pd's 'Pure
+Documentation'.  Most objects are documented with pd style help
+patches accessible by right clicking on an object. The place to send
+questions is the Pure Data mailing list.

+<h2>Download</h2></a>
+
+The latest stable PDP tarball release
+is <a href="http://zwizwa.be/pd/pdp/pdp-0.12.5.tar.gz">0.12.5</a>.
+For older releases see <a href="http://zwizwa.be/pd/pdp">here</a>.
+During this maintenance only phase, the main distribution and code
+contribution channel is the Pure Data SVN.  I do try to keep
+my <a href="http://zwizwa.be/darcs/pdp-12">darcs</a> archive up to
+date.  
+PDP is written by Tom Schouten and released under the GPL v2.
