+PROJECT
+ The zziplib provides read access to zipped files in a zip-archive,
+ using compression based solely on free algorithms provided by zlib.
+ It also provides a functionality to overlay the archive filesystem
+ with the filesystem of the operating system environment.
+
+AUTHOR
+ The project was originally written by Tomi Ollila, later largely
+ rewritten by Guido Draheim, and extended with contributions in
+ the years to follow. Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de> holds the full
+ copyright to the zziplib sources.
+
+COPYING
+ The zziplib may be used freely under the restrictions of the
+ GNU Lesser General Public License version 2 or later. Alternativly
+ the Mozilla Public license can be chosen. The sources are under
+ a dual license, as long as the MPL hint is not removed, the modified
+ files will be again under a dual license for the final recipient.
+
+LICENSING
+ If you can not use a dynalinked library according to LGPL rules,
+ then look at docs/copying.htm for a few hints. Generally the LGPL
+ has a way for staticlinking as well as the MPL has a way. Anyway,
+ special (paid) licenses can be negotiated with the copyright holder.
+
+HOMEPAGE
+ The zziplib project is hosted at SourceForge, the complete
+ documentation can be found at http://zziplib.sf.net - the
+ SourceForge servers are also used to distribute the sources
+ of the zziplib project. Releases are announced via the
+ freshmeat services on http://freshmeat.net/projects/zziplib
+
+INSTALLATION
+ The zziplib sources are built with gnu autotools and they should
+ be easy to install on unixish systems via the usual sequence of
+ `configure && make && make check && make install`. Many distributors
+ ship prebuilt packages e.g. in rpm format. Additionally there are
+ MSVC project files shipped along for usage with the Microsoft
+ VisualC series of compilers. There should be no problem either
+ when crosscompiling the zziplib for a third host platform.
+
+MAINTAINANCE
+ The zziplib library is intentionally a lightweight interface to
+ zip files. The author take patches but please consider to put
+ complex extensions into separate modules rather than implanting them
+ right into the core of the library engine. All Patches and Bug Reports
+ should be sent to Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de>.
