+Please send problem reports to bug-a2ps@gnu.org.  Ask questions on
+a2ps@gnu.org.  Submit changes on a2ps-patches@gnu.org.
+
+See the file ANNOUNCE for a presentation of a2ps, if you're still
+unsure it is indeed a filter from Anything To Probably Something.

+
+1. Installation
+===============
+
+*NOTE* If you are installing from a git clone, see README-git.
+
+The following dependencies are required to build a2ps:
+
+  - BDW GC (libgc): https://www.hboehm.info/gc
+  - libpaper: https://github.com/rrthomas/libpaper
+  - help2man: https://www.gnu.org/software/help2man
+
+The following dependencies are highly recommended:
+
+  - psutils: https://github.com/rrthomas/psutils
+  - GNU roff: https://www.gnu.org/software/groff
+
+Most of the work for the installation is done by ./configure.  If you
+never ever read the file `INSTALL', then you really should do it
+*now*.
+
+Some key options for ./configure are:
+
+    --disable-nls
+    	if you do not want to use Native Language Support
+    	(i.e. the ability to speak another tongue than English)
+    --with-gnu-gettext
+    	if you want to use the GNU gettext library for
+    	NLS, instead of available NLS services.  I recommend it.
+    --without-extensions
+    	Fewer files will get installed.  a2ps is still usable
+    	for Western Europe and American.  You should avoid unless
+    	you are really short on disk.  This does not imply
+    	--disable-nls, you have to add it yourself.
+
+The following choices *are not irreversible*.  They just correspond to
+settings in the file etc/a2ps-site.cfg:
+
+    --with-encoding=ENCODING
+    	define the default encoding (ascii, latin1..., latin6,
+    	hp, mac, ibmpc, pcg, cp1250).
+
+Note (for novices). If you are not root, you should give
+./configure the option --prefix=$HOME to be able to install.
+
+Remember that `make install' is mandatory for a2ps to work correctly.
+Once the `make install' is done, you may remove the build directory (the
+one which has been extracted from the .gz, which you can also remove,
+BTW).
+
+
