+This directory (and its subdirectories) contains version 0.16 of the
+Glasgow literate programming system. This stuff is usually -- but not
+always -- distributed as part of a larger system (e.g., the Glasgow
+Haskell compiler).
+
+The version numbers for this system tend to track those for Glasgow
+Haskell, even if virtually nothing has changed herein. As this system
+is pretty stable, this "version" really has nothing new to offer if
+you have a version 0.06 or 0.09.
+
+The subdirectory "doc" contains the user's guide (notably, the files
+literate.dvi [TeX-produced DVI format] and literate.info [equivalent
+in GNU Info format].
+
+If you are building/installing this stuff as a separate system, please
+consult the relevant section of the user's guide, near the end
+(source: literate/doc/install.lit). If this stuff "came with" another
+system (e.g., GHC or NoFib), simply follow the directions for
+building/installing *that* system.
+
+Once this system is built, if you would like to see its source in
+"literate" form (not overly recommended :-), try:
+
+ % cd <here>
+ % make depend # may be omitted if you've already done it
+ % make lit2stuff.dvi
+ # or...
+ % make lit2stuff.info
+
+The subdirectory "info-utils" contains hacked versions of the GNU
+Info-related utilities, "info" and "makeinfo". See the README file
+there.
+
+Comments about and suggestions for this system would be most welcome.
+You may send them directly to me.
