-  Welcome to wxWindows for GTK 1.0,
+   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.2
+
+you have downloaded version 2.2 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.
+
+More information is available from my homepage at:
+
+  http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
+  
+and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW
+and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's 
+homepage at:
+
+  http://www.wxwindows.org

   
   

-you have downloaded the first beta version of the upcoming
-release 2.0 of the GTK+ 1.0 port of wxWindows library.

-This is the beta release which means that we have a feature
-freeze. We'll move up to version 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.
