DESCRIPTION:
------------

	This is the GNOME Comics Organizer (GCO for short)  - a
	program to help you keep track of your comics collection. It
	is distributed under the GPL (see the file COPYING for more
	information).

	It has been written in C using the GTK+ and GNOME
	widgetsets. It should be mostly GNOME compliant, although no
	session management is in place.

	The interface was designed using GLADE.

	The look of the interface is basically taken from the program
	Comics Organizer I made for Win9x in Delphi, and GCO also
	supports loading files made with the last version of Comics
	Organizer.


REQUIREMENTS:
-------------

	Here is what I use:

	     GTK+ 1.2.10	     GLib 1.2.10
	     gnome-libs 1.2.13	     egcs 1.1.2 (gcc 2.91.66)
	     libglade 0.16	     gnome-vfs 1.0.1

	It should compile with any 1.2.x release of GTK+, any 1.2.x
	release of the gnome-libs, liglade 0.14 and above, and
	(hopefully) just about any somewhat new version of gcc or
	egcs.

INSTALLING:
-----------

	See the file INSTALL for full instructions. To do a quick
	install just do the following:

	     cd to the gco directory
	     ./configure
	     make
	     make install     

REQUESTING NEW FEATURES:
------------------------

	By all means feel free to request new features (within
	reason). Feature requests are taken more seriously if they are
	sent along with a diff that implements that feature :-)
	

REPORTING BUGS:
---------------

	First check if the bug has already been reported by looking in
	the TODO file (in the 'bugs to fix' section). If it isn't
	there then please write a step by step guide to reproducing
	the error, and state what versions you are using of GTK+,
	gnome-core, gnome-libs, what compiler you are using, and
	anything else you think might be of interest.
	Then send all the above information in an e-mail to:

	     maxximum@get2net.dk

	If you wish to contribute by fixing any bugs yourself, please
	send me a diff, and I will look into incorporating it into the
	next release.
