+* Compile.
+
+Warning: Before the control can be built user has to add path to MS ATL headers
+ into Makefile.
+
+If you use the build environment of the SDK you have to check which MS compiler
+do you use. It you use the MS Visual Studio .NET compiler everything should work
+fine with the SDK. If you use an older MS compiler please edit the Makefile and
+uncomment or remove the line 'CL_NEW_LIB=atls.lib'.
+
+* Description.
+
+The LibreOffice ActiveX control shows an example of access to UNO through COM technology.
+It requires a properly installed LibreOffice version 4.0 or later
+This is a Lite ActiveX control so it can be used only in containers that
+allows to use such controls. It can be activated with an <OBJECT> tag from
+a html-page to embed a document. Without any parameters a new writer document will be
+opened for editing. Possible parameters are
+ src - full URL to the file that should be edited/viewed;
+ it can contain "private:factory/..." URLs to open new documents
+ for edit, for example "private:factory/swriter"
+ readonly - if it is set to "true" the document will be opened readonly,
+ otherwise the document will be opened for editing.
+
+The control can be extended easily, for example it can be changed
+to allow scripting to load different documents.
+
+As any ActiveX control this one should be registered.
+To let MSIE register it itself the "CODEBASE" parameter
+for the "OBJECT" tag should be specified
+with a URL to the library "so_activex.dll".
+
+Also it can be done using regsvr32 application.
+To do it please write
+<Path to Windows installation>\System32\regsvr32 so_activex.dll
+
+To unregister the control please use /u option:
+<Path to Windows installation>\system32\regsvr32 so_activex.dll /u
