+You will need the flext C++ layer for PD and Max/MSP externals to compile this.
+
+Package files:
+- readme.txt: this one
+- gpl.txt,license.txt: GPL license stuff
+- main.cpp, pool.h, pool.cpp, data.cpp
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------

+Goals/features of the package:
+
+- pool can store and retrieve key/value pairs, where a key can be any atom and 
+	the value can be any list of atoms

+
+pd - darwin (MacOSX):
+---------------------
+o GCC: edit "config-pd-darwin.txt" & run "sh build-pd-darwin.sh" 
+
+Max/MSP - MacOS9:
