-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk,
+  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 8,
+
+you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of 
+the wxWindows GUI library. This is a developers release
+and is it not suited for production development. Beware
+that major changes can happen before a final release.
+
+Beginning with snapshot 6, wxWindows uses a completely
+new make file system on Unix that uses GNU automake,
+GNU autoconf and GNU autoheader. You do not need these
+programs in order to use the library, but for taking
+part in its development, they are required. Read the
+INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with the
+new configure/automake/libtool system.
+
+More information is available from my homepage at:

-you have downloaded version 1.97 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
+Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found
+at Julian Smart's homepage at:

+  
+Information on how to install can be found in the file 
+INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
+many systems (when using GTK 1.0 or when not using Linux
+read the INSTALL.txt):
+
+./configure

 make

-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

+The library produced by the install process will be called 
+libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.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.
