::: INSTALLATION OF THIS PACKAGE :::
Once unzipped, place the entire folder into your Max packages folder, i.e. the Max 8 folder contained in your Documents folder.
On mac0S, this folder should be located here:
/Users/username/Documents/Max 8/Packages
On Windows systems, the Max 8 folder will similarly be located inside your My Documents folder.
The piece also runs in Max 5. If you're attempting to run it on a version of Max prior to v6, place the folder somewhere in your Max search path instead. For example:

BUT!! If running one of these earlier versions of Max, BE ABSOLUTELY SURE you are also running compatible earlier versions of the above ADDITIONAL LIBRARIES. See their websites for obtaining earlier versions.
