UC MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SOFTWARE! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the README file for the "bonk" percussion detector. This software is available from http://man104nfs.ucsd.edu/~mpuckett in versions for IRIX 5.x and for NT on Intel boxes. Bonk will soon be available separately for Max/MSP on Macintoshes. TO INSTALL FOR IRIX 5.x: download from the Web page, which will give you a file named "bonk-x.xx.tar.Z" (where x.xx is the version number). Unpack this by typing "zcat bonk-x.xx.tar.Z | tar xf -" which will give you a directory named "bonk" containing the source, the object code, and the "help patch." TO INSTALL FOR NT: download from the Web page, which will give you a file named "bonk-x.xx.zip" (where x.xx is the version number). Unpack this by typing "unzip bonk-x.xx.zip" to a terminal window which will give you a directory named "bonk". The source, the object code, and the "help patch" will be there. Pd currently has no search path facility; the object file (bonk.pd_irix5 or bonk.dll) should be copied to the directories containing whatever patches you want to use it with. -Miller Puckette (msp@ucsd.edu)
