cyclist - 0.2~beta3-5 main

cyclist is a command line utility for converting the .mxb binary format for
Max/MSP patches into the .mxt/.pat text format. It is part of the Cyclone
library for Pure Data, which aims to bring some level of compatibility
between the Max/MSP and Pd environments. Although being itself in the early
stage 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. 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.
