+ Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.14
+
+you have downloaded a beta version of the GTK+ 1.2 port of
+the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the
+final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has
+been tested carefully on many systems and has been found
+to work better than any other previous version.
+
+This is the last beta release. wxWindows is now in a code
+freeze and only bugs will be corrected.
+
+wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
+snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+GTK 1.2.6 is recommended although somw programs will work
+with GTK 1.2.3 onwards.
