-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.01 (beta 3),
+   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.12
+
+you have downloaded version 2.1 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.
+
+Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before 
+a final release.
+
+wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
+snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+
+Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely
+new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
+various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
+to write any more makefiles.
