+-------------
+Introduction:
+-------------
+
+GraphTeX is actually a Perl library (graphtex.pl) along with a preprocessor
+(gt) which can be used to generate TeXdraw commands producing graphs and
+related diagrams inside a TeX document. A graph can be ``typeset'' by
+writing a .gt source file which resembles a matrix environment.
+
+--------------
+Documentation:
+--------------
+
+Both the entire source for making the manual, as well as copy of the
+postscript manual, manual1.0beta.ps, come with the distribution. To read
+more about GraphTeX, simply print the postscript manual. (The "make doc"
+target of the Makefile is intended to show the user the full
+dependencies inherent in GraphTeX.
+
+-------------
+Installation:
+-------------
+
+In order for GraphTeX to work, you need to have the following packages
+installed: TeX, Perl, TeXdraw, and dvips (any .dvi to .ps program which
+respects \special for postscript insertion).
+
+ If you can write to the system-wide "bin" and "lib" directories and
+wish to install Graph-TeX right away, attend to definitions PERLLIB,
+PERLEXEC and BINDER in Makefile, and type
+
+ make install
+
+ If you only wish to test Graph-TeX, attend to the PERLEXEC definition
+in Makefile and type
+ make test-install
+
+This assumes that your system supports the "magic number" mechanism
+for script programs, i.e. first lines of the form #!{path} (if not,
+you'll have to hack your own). A good way to test things is to rebuild
+the manual by typing
+
+ make
+
+ Note that because Graph-TeX relies on TeXdraw, the documents you create
+must include the TeXdraw macros, for example.
+
+ \input texdraw for TeX
+ \documentstyle[texdraw]{book} for LaTeX
+
+-----------
+Known Bugs:
+-----------
+
+1. Space delimits commands within a cell, so math mode expressions aren't
+ aloud to have any space inside them. (Try {} or something.)
