+Installation
+------------
+
+On a GNU/Linux system running 'make' as user and 'make install' as
+root is sufficient.  If you don't want to install the program in /usr
+install it with 'make prefix=/usr/local install'.
+
+On other systems you may have to tweak the code a little bit since
+some include files may not be present on these systems.  Feel free to
+contact the author with details.
+
+Automake (and thus configure) is not used intentionally.
