PD_VERSION

A real-time graphical programming environment for audio and graphics
analysis and rendering.  Pd's audio functions are built-in; graphical
computations require a separate package named GEM ("Graphics Environment for
Multimedia").  Pd and GEM are available for SGI machines, IBM PC compatibles
(running NT or W95) and Linux (PCs or Alpha machines).

Both Pd and GEM are copyrighted, but they are free for you to use for any
reasonable purpose.  See the file:
     PD_BASEDIR/LICENSE.txt

To learn how to download and install Pd and GEM, consult the file,
    PD_BASEDIR/README.txt
