 MAKING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION
+	Please see the INSTALL file for details.
 
-    You should be able to make and install the distribution with a
-    default configuration by typing the following commands:
-
-	% ./configure --help
-		This will list the available options.
-		The configure script will also use your environmental
-		variables for determining compiler/linker options.
-		These environment variables are used:
-			CC			C compiler	(cc, ecgs)
-			CFLAGS		C Flags		(-ansi)
-			CPPFLAGS	CPP Flags	(-I -D)
-			LDFLAGS		LDFLAGS		(-L -l)
-
-	% [env settings] ./configure [options]
-		this will configure the build system
-
-	% make depend
-		this will create dependency information
 
-	% make 
-		this will build the system
-
-	% su
-	# make install
-
-    in this directory.  This should produce something that basically
-    works.  You can "cd tests; make" to verify the build.
-
-    You will probably want to do a little configuration to suit your
-    site, though.  There are one file you might want to edit:
