+This program does not use the configure script, but I have been careful to
+write is as portably as possible -- it should only be using ISO C in
+conjunction with libpng.
+
+UNIX-like systems
+=================
+
+To build the software on unix, or a compatible build system (eg. cygwin),
+type the following:
+
+    make
+
+Then copy the png8 executable wherever you want.  The documentation in the doc
+directory can also be copied wherever.
+
+If libpng is in a non-standard place, edit the Makefile and set the commented
+variables accordingly.
+
+
+Other or broken systems
+=======================
+
+If the Makefile is not usable on your system, you simply need to compile all
+the .c files and produce a single casm object.  E.g. (using the cc command
+as an example):
+
+    cc -o png8 *.c
