-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk,
+   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.
+
+More information is available from my homepage at:
+
+  http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt

   
   

-you have downloaded version 1.99 of the GTK+ port of C++ library
-wxWindows. Information on how to install can be found in the
-file INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
-all systems
+and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW
+and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's 
+homepage at:

 
 

-configure --without-threads
+  http://www.wxwindows.org
+  
+Information on how to install can be found in the file 
+INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
+many systems:
+
+./configure --with-gtk

 make
 make

-su (PASSWORD)
+su <type root password>

 make install
 make install

+ldconfig
+exit

-This is the beta release which means that we have a feature
-freeze. We'll move up to versin 2.0 rather soon and from then
-on there will be no more binary incompatible changes. We might
-add more classes, but none that would alter the behaviour of
-the existing ones. The library produced by the install process
-of the final version will be called libwx_gtk_1_0.a (static)
-and libwx_gtk_1_0.so.2.0.0 (shared) so that once a version
-of wxWindows/Gtk for GTK 1.2 comes out we'll change the name
-of the library to avoid linking problems.
