Be sure to read INSTALL for information on how to get the software
built, configured, and running properly.

UNIX DEVELOPERS
	You can try a './configure' (or optionally './usrinst.sh'
	for a useful development options configuration), then 'make' from
	this directory.  This should compile everthing needed.  You may type
	'./configure --help' to see a list of options.
	If all compiles fine, a 'make install' (as root, probably) will
	install libs to your system and you may begin using the library.
	There are a few basic tests (tests/), start of a test suite
	(tests/testsuite/), utilities (utilities/), and examples
	(examples/), in the tree.

	To install modules, have a look at utilities/installmgr

	For some basic lookup and search utilities, see
		examples/cmdline/search
		examples/cmdline/lookup
		utilities/diatheke/

	If you are an end user looking for a nice SWORD, graphical Bible study
	software suite, then you'll probably want to download one of the
	many nice frontends found at

	http://crosswire.org/applications.jsp

	./buildtest.cpp compiles to the executable 'buildtest' as a test to
	see if the libs have compiled and can be linked against successfully.
	This is NOT the final target of the build, nor does anything useful.
		:)

CMAKE
	Alternatively, you can try building with CMake.  CMake is an alternative
	make system for muliple platforms.  You might have a great experience
	using the CMake build system.  See:
	cmake/README for more information


LANGUAGE BINDINGS
	Other language bindings can be found in the ./bindings directory:
	flatapi.cpp is a useful extern "C" interface for making bindings easier.
	Kylix bindings (and maybe Delphi bindings) may be found in sword/bindings/clx
	CORBA (orbit-c++) bindings with Java example classes in /bindings/corba
	Perl stuff in bindings/perl
	SWIG stuff (Python, Perl) in bindings/swig


C++BUILDER DEVELOPERS
	You may find project files under lib/bcppmake

VC DEVELOPERS
	You may find project files under lib/vcppmake

DELPHI DEVELOPERS
	You will need to place sword32.dll in your winsys
		directory or elsewhere in your path.  You can find source to
		build the dll using ./bindings/flatapi.cpp
		or a binary at: ftp://crosswire.org/pub/sword/utils/win32/bcdlls.zip
		header file is include/SwordAPI.pas
		CLX components can be found under bindings/clx/

.NET DEVELOPERS
	Have a look in bindings/swig/vstudio/
	Binaries may be found at: ftp://crosswire.org/pub/sword/utils/win32/vcdlls.zip

Enjoy!
