+Pd-extended (Pure Data, by Miller Puckette) is a real-time
+audio synthesis/processing package. It is one of the
+"MUSIC N" family members, open source (BSD style) successor
+of the MAX branch. This package contains the core of Pd and
+many external objetcs.
+
+Since this version the programs binaries name is pdextended,
+in order to start Pd-extended you have to call it with this
+name.
+
+Pd-extended is usually based on an older version of Pd.
+Since version 0.42.5 Pd-extended doesn't conflict any more
+with Pd.
+
+You find an example for $HOME/.pdextended in
+/usr/doc/Pd-<version>-extended/example.pdextended
+which should work out of the box on most machines and
+will enable most of the external libraries in pd.
+
+It requires dssi, gsl, imlib2, jack-audio-connection-kit,
+ladspa_sdk, lame, liblo, libquicktime and speex at compile
+time.
