+Requirements
+------------
+You will need a Posix compatible shell command interpreter like Bash or
+Dash.
+Bash is available at http://gnu.org/software/bash/bash.html.
+Dash is available at http://packages.debian.org/stable/dash/.
+
+
+Procedure
+---------
+1. Unpack the archive if you have not done so already:
+
+ lzip -cd zutils[version].tar.lz | tar -xf -
+or
+ gzip -cd zutils[version].tar.gz | tar -xf -
+
+This creates the directory ./zutils[version] containing the source from
+the main archive.
+
+2. Change to zutils directory and run configure.
+ (Try `configure --help' for usage instructions).
+
+ cd zutils[version]
+ ./configure
+
+3. Run make.
+
+ make
+
+4. Optionally, type `make check' to run the tests that come with zutils.
+
+5. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
+ documentation.
+
+
+Another way
+-----------
+You can also compile zutils into a separate directory. To do this, you
+must use a version of `make' that supports the `VPATH' variable, such
+as GNU `make'. `cd' to the directory where you want the object files
+and executables to go and run the `configure' script. `configure'
+automatically checks for the source code in `.', in `..' and in the
+directory that `configure' is in.
+
+`configure' recognizes the option `--srcdir=DIR' to control where to
+look for the sources. Usually `configure' can determine that directory
+automatically.
+
+After running `configure', you can run `make' and `make install' as
+explained above.
