+This directory contains the man_db manual sources. They may be compiled into
+four different formats:
+
+ dvi: device independant
+ ps: PostScript
+ cat: vt100-type terminal ie. ASCII with overstrike
+ tps: PostScript with TeX fonts
+
+All require soelim, tbl and the ROFF macro `e' (your site probably has it).
+cat requires nroff whereas the others require groff. tps also requires an
+installation of TeX and dvips. If you are unable to produce any of these
+formats, man_db-0.6.ps.gz should be available at the same location as this
+package.
+
+Issuing `make' or `make all' will produce the dvi, ps and cat versions. To
+produce a single format simply run
+
+ make <format>
+or
+ make man_db.<format>
+
+where <format> can be any of the above.
