-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk,
+   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.3
+
+you have downloaded version 2.3 of the GTK port of the 
+wxWindows GUI library.
+
+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 or above is recommended although some programs 
+will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now beta support
+for GTK 2.0.
+
+More info about the wxWindows project (and the Windows
+and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's 
+homepage at:
+
+  http://www.wxwindows.org

-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

-wxWindows/Gtk is still in development and you can have a look
-at the TODO.txt to see what's missing before an official beta
-and - more important - before we can aim at binary compatibility.
+The library produced by the install process will be called 
+libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so 
+that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes 
+out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking 
+problems.
