 distribution.
 
 As DTAUS uses very long integer values you can't rely on regular C
-integer variables.  Therefore I've written a small library that acts
-on big integer numbers.  At the moment it only contains routines that
-are needed by dtaus but you're invited to improve it and send back
-appropriate patches to me.  The library is called bigint and can be
-found at ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/clib/math/bigint-0.1.tar.gz
+long integer variables.  Therefore I've written a small (and
+incomplete) library that deals with big integer numbers.  At the
+moment it only contains routines that are needed by dtaus but you're
+invited to improve it and send back appropriate patches to me.  The
+library is called bigint and is included in this package.
 
-You need to extract it into the same directory where the dtaus files
-are.  After that just run make and you should get an executable named
-dtaus.
+More Information

-Supported Currency
-------------------
+I have set up a couple of web pages describing the dtaus package as
+well as collecting additional information that may be useful to dtaus
+users.  Please check out:
 
-At the moment the only currency supported is DM.  There are some hooks
-for supporting the new european currency Euro but it is not yet
-implemented.
+  <http://www.infodrom.org/projects/dtaus/>
 
-What needs to be done:
+There is a mailing list set up on lists.infodrom.org that deals with
+DTAUS and appropriate issues.  If you have questions or suggestions
+please subscribe to the list and post there.
 
- . Simple support for Euro in record A
- . When writing records C and E, divert the field for amount
- . Ignore specified currency for record C
- . Reading dtaus, simple support for currency field
- . When reading dtaus, divert the field for amount
+Please don't contact me personally if you don't have confidential
+questions.  Using the mailing list your question and comments are
+archived properly so they can be used later as well.  As another bonus
+somebody else than me could answer a question, hence not incrementing
+my workload.
+
+The submission address for the mailing list is:
+
+  infodrom-dtaus@lists.infodrom.org
+
+To subscribe, send a mail to majordomo@lists.infodrom.org with the
+body "subscribe infodrom dtaus" -- or send a mail to SmartList at
+infodrom-dtaus-request@lists.infodrom.org with the subject
+"subscribe".
 
 Good luck!
