+More detailed installation instructions may be available in the file TUTORIAL.
+
+Support is available by emailing the Easylatex mailing list, easylatex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
+
+
+---------------------------------------------
+WINDOWS
+---------------------------------------------
+You must have Perl installed on your machine (the program was tested only with ActiveState Perl). Unfortunately, you must also install "psfrag", which is included with the easylatex distribution.
+
+Aside from this, no "installation" is necessary (or, yet, available); just unpack the EasyLatex directory the .tar.gz, and run it as "perl easylatex.pl".
+
+EasyLatex has only been tested a little bit on Windows, and there are probably still bugs. Please feel free to ask for help at easylatex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
+
+
+---------------------------------------------
+LINUX
+---------------------------------------------
+
+You must have Perl installed on your machine. Unfortunately, you must also install "psfrag", which is included with the easylatex distribution.
+
+The quickest way to start using EasyLatex is then to just change to the directory which came in the .tar file, and then run
+
+./quickInstall.pl
+
+If there are no problems with that, and everything works, then you don't need to read the rest of this file.
+
+---------
+
+Before installing easylatex.pl, you must have Perl installed already. You may want to have the Perl module "Getopt::Declare" installed, too. However, if you don't, easylatex.pl will run fine from this directory (see footnote below).
+
+If you use Debian, this package is available in package libgetopt-declare-perl.
+
+
+---------
+
+To install EasyLatex, simply copy the subdirectory "easylatex" to either "/usr/lib/easylatex" or "$HOME/.easylatex", where $HOME is your home directory.
+
+Please note that if there is a directory at "$HOME/.easylatex", but this directory does not contain the contents of the "easylatex" subdirectory, then easylatex will get confused and abort.
+
+In case you get confused, just download easylatex again and re-copy the easylatex subdirectory all over again.
+
+Support is available at the mailing list easylatex-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
+
+
+-----
+
+footnote:
+ because I have already installed "Getopt::Declare" into this directory as a convenience; however, if you move the file "easylatex.pl", it won't be able to find this directory's Getopt::Declare, so in that case you should do a proper install of Getopt::Declare onto your system.

+NOTE: inserting latex into graphivz graphs doesn't work with graphviz 2.2 (and perhaps others), but it does work on some older versions. \ No newline at end of file
