      Welcome to the source of Arena 0.3.61

   We changed release numbering scheme from original W3C to GNU style
 at beta-3e release (W3C numbering), which had become the number 0.3.05,
 that's why this release number is 0.3.61.

   For copyright statements,
 see COPYRIGHT file and files in the subdirectories.

   The code has three main parts:

         the W3C reference library,
         the auxiliary libraries and
         the Arena code.

 Let me say a few words about them:

   1) the W3C reference library code is known to compile on 11 unix
      platforms and should pose no major problems. The version of the
      library we are using in Arena-0.3.61 is a derivative of libwww-5.1k.
      For more info on the library, see

            http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Library/

      Make sure the library is compiled with the "-DCALL_CLIENT_BUG" option.

      If you are going to compile Arena with direct WAIS servers access
      support, you should compile the W3C Reference Library with direct
      WAIS support. Give appropriate flag (probably it is `--with-wais')
      to the libwww `configure' script to configure libwww to be build with
      the dierect WAIS access stuff.

      Attention!
      ~~~~~~~~~~
      Arena (since the 0.3.10 release) doesn't contain W3C reference
      library distribution, so you have to get it yourself from

            ftp://ftp.w3.org/pub/libwww/w3c-libwww-5.1k.tar.gz
            ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/mirrors/w3/libwww/w3c-libwww-5.1k.tar.gz
            ftp://ftp.yggdrasil.com/pub/dist/web/arena/auxiliary/

      unpack it --- the actual directory makes no difference,
      just assist `configure' script to find this distribution
      or set the `libwww_include', `libwww_config_h', and
      `libwww_library_dir' variables in the main makefile
      appropriately (pointing to those directories).
      If you unpack it to subdirectory of /tmp/, /usr/src/ or ../
      (relative to Arena source tree top dir), `configure' script
      will be able to find it automagically.

   2) In Auxiliary/, you will find three libraries:

            jpeg libpng zlib

      These have not been changed by us and come with their own setup and
      legal restrictions.
      Compile them any way you want, just make sure Arena can see them at
      link time (and their header files (*.h) during compilation).
      It's worth having a glance at *.README files in Auxiliary/ directory.

      If you want you can download and use the latest versions of
      these libraries:

         libjpeg --- ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
         libpng  --- ftp://swrinde.nde.swri.edu/pub/png/code/
                     ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/
         libz    --- ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
                     ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/zlib/
                     ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/
                     ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/sources/libs/

      or anywhere else you like to ftp from...

      You may wish to read the web pages:

	PNG     --- http://www.wco.com/~png/
        zlib    --- http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/

   3) the Arena code is fairly lean/clean C/Xlib. It compiles using gcc ---
      with minor modifications... Also, ifdefs for the 64 bit alpha exist.

   There is Makefile in the top directory. It's a very primitive fallback.
 The real one is `makefile' and is build from makefile.in by configure script
 (the script is built from configure.in by autoconf). To build makefile
 just run the script:
                     ./configure
 You can control it via command line options. To get info on the options:
                     ./configure --help
 Having built makefile just type `make'. Please check INSTALL for details.

 Note:
	The makefile in this directory uses features of GNU make.
	If you want to make your life much easier,
	then get it from the Free Software Foundation archive
	(in ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/) and install it. Enjoy!

   If you've ported Arena before, you should be able to reuse your setup.
 In this release, most #defines that were earlier given as complier options
 are now in arena.h. Change this file if you, for example, want to compile
 without jpeg support.

      Full Arena compilation consumes approximately 90 BogoGI's
   (BogoGI == 1000 BogoMI) for libwww-5.0a configuration with -DARENA_DEBUG
   flag set, i.e. e.g. at 486DX4-100 computer (which idled at 50.0 BogoMIPS)
   it taked about 20/30 minutes.

   The current Arena binary is standalone one, so installation is simple:
 just move/copy the binary to the appropriate directory (and do so with
 shared libraries (libz, libpng, libjpeg, libwww) if you have compiled
 them shared and run ldconfig), Arena manpage (arena.man),
 and Arena configuration file (arenarc).
    You can also tune Arena parameters via X resources. :)
 Please read INSTALL file for details.

   If you want to offer a binary version of Arena to the public,
 you are free to do so. Send a mail to arena-developers@yggdrasil.com
 and we are happy point to your port from our pages. Although I don't
 think that providing binary distribution of a beta software is reasonable,
 I do think that providing binary for the convinence' sake of beta testers
 is a good idea. Let's do our best to reach gamma stage... plus ultra!
