-OpenLDAP 1.0 README
+OpenLDAP Devel README
+	OpenLDAP -devel is for the development of OpenLDAP.  As such,
+	it changes often.  These changes include changes in functionality
+	and unproven bug fixes.  Many of these changes will cause
+	previous working programs to fail.
 
-    This is the OpenLDAP version 1.0 distribution.
+	Additional developer documents are available in doc/devel,
+		todo list
+		guidelines for developers
 
+	Client developers seeking a stable development platform
+	should use an OpenLDAP release.
+
+	The OpenLDAP Developer's FAQ is available at:

+OpenLDAP Release README
 	For a description of what this distribution contains, see the
 	ANNOUNCEMENT file in this directory.  For a description of
 	changes from previous releases, see the CHANGES file in this
-	directory.  For a more detailed description of how to make an

-MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
+	For a more detailed description of how to make an install the
+	distribution, see the INSTALL file in this directory.  Additional
+	installation information can be found on the OpenLDAP website:
+		http://www.openldap.org/
 
-    You should be able to make and install the distribution with a pretty
-    standard default configuration by typing the following commands
 
-	% make
-		this will copy Make-common.dist to Make-common.
-		Edit Make-common as desired.
-	% make 
-		this will build the system
-	% su
-	# make install
+REQUIRED SOFTWARE
+	Build OpenLDAP requires the following software components:
 
-    in this directory.  This should produce something that basically
-    works.
+	Base system (libraries and tools):
+		Standard C compiler, headers, and libraries
+		POSIX REGEX headers and libraries
 
-    You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
-    site, though.  There are two files you might want to edit:
+	SLAPD:
+		LDBM compatible datastore
+			(Sleepycat Berkeley DB 2.7.5 or GDBM)
 
-	Make-common
-		contains default definitions for where things will be
-		installed, where to find various things, etc.  These defaults
-		are used in absense of platform-specific defaults.  You may
-		hardcode settings in Make-common if you desire.  You will
-		need to edit this file to enable optional features.
+	SLURPD:
+		LTHREAD compatible thread package
+			(POSIX threads, Mach Cthreads, Sun LWP, or GNU Pth)
 
-	build/*/Make-platform
-		contains platform-specific defaults.
+	CLIENTS/CONTRIB ware:
+		Depends on package.  See per package README.
+		
 
-	include/ldapconfig.h.edit
-		This file contains #defines used by many parts of the
-		distribution.  You'll at least want to change DEFAULT_BASE.
+MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
+	Please see the INSTALL file for details.
