-The distribution is available in a number of formats.
-The most convenient is the platform-specific distribution,
-but the zip set forms a more complete distribution, for example if
-you wish to take part in wxWindows development. Also, add-ons
-such as OGL may only be available in zip form.

+wxWidgets is distributed in source form in several archive formats.
+ZIP and 7z archives are for Microsoft Windows users and contain the
+files with DOS/Windows line endings while the compressed tar archives
+for Unix systems users (including OS X) and contain the files with
+Unix line endings. Please notice that some Windows tools still don't
+accept files with Unix line endings and that compiling sources with
+DOS line endings under Unix will fail, so please choose the correct
+file for your system.
+
+In addition to the sources, documentation in HTML, CHM and HTB
+(wxWidgets help viewer) formats is provided as well as an installer
+for Microsoft Windows. Notice that you will still need to compile
+wxWidgets even when using the installer.
