 Hello Linux-lusers!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry, my English is quite bad, I hope you understand it...

* About this distribution:
 This is the first version of my new library Mylib.
 If you want to know information about the library itself look at Docs
 directory. 

* What is this?
 Mylib is a ultra-fast (what'a'word) graphics library. It supports fully at the
 moment 8 BitsPerPixel packed-pixel modes. I haven't made mode-X working. 
 Mylib works only on console, the support for X/Windows wont come (I think so).
 I hope to port it soon to DOS. Mylib is built on
 svgalib, most of the ideas came from allegro graphics library and most of the
 code from vgagl. Hope you enjoy it. It's a complete mix. There are quite nice
 timer, keyboard and mouse handling functions. Also some very nice and fast
 graphics primitives (line, hline, fillbox). The best are bitmaps. It can clip
 everything you want. Support even for compressed bitmaps with cliping. And
 masked bitmaps, all with cliping - you gonna love it! Also some palette
 manipulating (fadein/fadeout). Mylib is bitmap oriented - everything is bitmap,
 you can create subbitmaps on other bitmaps and even subbitmaps on other
 subbitmap!

* How much does it cost?
 Mylib is completely free. That means you can use the source in this library
 in any way you want. Sell it, send it to /dev/null or whatever. It's your
 choise. If you make some money with it, I would appreciate some support.

* Why did I make this?
 I just wanted to know how to programme graphics and libraries.
 Really everything sucked and I made my own peace of s*.
* Why did I announce it?
 Well people must get what they want and I think this is one of these things.
 Be lucky I announced it - I was already so tired of it that rm -rf Mylib was
 going to be. But I thought - why not, I have nothing to lose and YOU have so
 much to gain.
* Who am I?
 My name is Indrek Mandre. I live at the moment in Estonia.
 Here is my address:
                         Estonia, EE0029 Tallinn,
                         Ed. Vilde Street 70-32
 You can always send me also some email: indrek@warp.edu.ee or visit my
 homepage, which at the moment doesn't work (http://www.pld.ttu.ee/~indrek).

* What do you need to use it?
 You must have gcc. Also you must have svgalib library. I recommend the last.
 Get it from ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/graphics/svgalib*
 Installing it is another story on another time.
 
* How to compile it?
 Write make. Just make and read the screen. Make all or make install should 
 be the right choice.

* Am I tired of writing this poor readme file?
 Yes.

Maybe this library sucks, I dont't know it yet, You must tell me that.
