Wanted
------

If you wrote a program using TVision or know any useful site please tell me
its address.  I'll add it in the list at the very bottom of file
`doc/tvision.texi' (see below).

How to install the package
--------------------------

Read the `INSTALL' file for generic informations on installing this library.
More options are available for `configure':

Linker options:

  --enable-shared         build shared libraries [default=yes]
  --enable-shared=PKGS    only build shared libraries if the current package
                          appears as an element in the PKGS list
  --enable-static         build static libraries [default=yes]
  --enable-static=PKGS    only build shared libraries if the current package
                          appears as an element in the PKGS list
  --with-gnu-ld           assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]

Miscellaneous options:

  --enable-russian        enable Russian character set (now obsolete)
  --disable-acs           disable alternate character set
  --disable-8bit          disable 8 bit output
  --disable-linux-gpm     disable Linux GPM mouse support
  --disable-linux-vcs     disable Linux VCS support
  --disable-freebsd-mouse disable FreeBSD mouse support

Where to find documentation
---------------------------

See directory `doc' and its subdirectory.  Here is a summary of their contents.

- `tvision.info' is a Texinfo file and contains the "installation handbook":
  information regarding installation, keyboard handling, screen manipulation,
  environment variables and mouse support.  You should take a look at it
  before using the library.  Just type `info -f tvision.info'.

- `html/tvision.html' is the main page of the documentation.  It includes
  links to both the html version of the "installation handbook" and to the
  "class hierarchy documentation".  The latter is a detailed reference
  manual for the various classes, methods and data members TVision uses.
