+FPKPascal XForms support.
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the units in this directory, proceed as follows:
+
+0. You need an installed forms library. You need to know where it is
+ installed. Either version 0.86 or 0.88 will do. For version 0.88
+ you need version 0.99.8 or higher of the compiler.
+
+2. Edit the Makefile in the current directory . You have to specify:
+ - which version of the forms library you use (0.86 or 0.88)
+ - The place of the forms library. (if not in /usr/lib).
+ - The place of the X library. (should be /usr/X11/lib)
+ - Where you want the forms libraries installed.
+ - Where you want the fd2pascal filter installed.
+ - Optionally, the path to the compiler and the pascal units.
+
+3. You should be all set to compile. type
+ make all
+ This will compile all the needed units, and the fd2pascal program which
+ translates .fd design files to pascal programs.
+ As of version 0.88, the fdesign program can directly issue pascal
+ code if you have fd2pascal installed.
+
+4. To compile the demo programs, type (still in the forms directory)
+ make demo
+ This will compile all the demo programs in the demo subdirectory.
+
+5. To install the units and the fd2pascal program, type
+ make install
+ This will install all units and the program in the directories you
+ specified. They will be created if they don't exist.
+

+Enjoy !
