+ wxBase README
+ =============
+
+NB: this file applies to wxBase library only. If you are using a GUI version
+ of wxWindows, please refer to the documentation in the appropriate
+ subdirectory (msw, gtk, motif &c).
+
+
+ Welcome to wxBase!
+
+0. Introduction
+---------------
+
+ wxBase is the library providing most of the non-GUI classes of the wxWindows
+cross-platform C++ framework. wxBase has some generic classes such as yet
+another C++ string class, typesafe dynamic arrays, hashes and lists and, more
+excitingly, wxDateTime - a very flexible and powerful class for manipulating
+the dates in the range of 580 million years with up to millisecond precision.
+Another useful class not present in the standard C++ library is wxRegEx which
+allows you to use regular expressions for string matching and replacing.
+
+ There are also classes for writing portable programs in C++ painlessly which
+encapsulate things like files (and their names), directories, processes,
+threads, sockets and much more. Some of the other utility classes allow you to
+parse the command line, limit the number of instances of your program
+executing simultaneously (portably!) and so on.
+
+1. Requirments and supported platforms
+--------------------------------------
+
+ wxBase can be compiled and used under Win32, mostly any modern Unix system
+(probably including Mac OS X but it wasn't tested there), VMS and BeOS (this
+release couldn't be tested under these platforms neither so you might
+encounter some problems but they should be easy to solve - please contact us
+in this case!)
+
+ It is written without using any modern C++ features (such as templates,
+exceptions, namespaces) for maximal portability and so you shouldn't have
+problems compiling it with any C++ compiler at all. However, we only provide
+the project files for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 for Win32 (any contributions
+are welcome!) - but our Unix makefiles will work with any compiler.
+
+2. Installing under Win32
+-------------------------
+
+Please note that wxBase can be compiled in different configurations under
+Win32: as a static or shared library, in debug or release mode and in ANSI
+or Unicode mode for a total of 8 possibilities.
+
+a) Using Visual C++ 6.0
+
+ Simply open the src/wxBase.dsw file in MSDEV and build it. When it is
+done you can also open samples/console/console.dsp project and build it as
+well.
+
+b) Cygwin
+
+ Please refer to the Unix section below
+
+c) Other compilers
+
+ Unfortunately we don't have the makefiles for any other compilers yet.
+Please contact us if you would like to help us with creating one for the
+compiler you use.
+
+3. Installing under Unix/BeOS
+-----------------------------
+
+NB: If you're building wxBase from the wxWindows distribution and not from a
+ separate wxBase one you will need to add "--disable-gui" to configure
+ arguments below!
+
+Please note that GNU make is required to build wxBase!
+
+The recommended way to build wxBase is:
+
+ % cd ..../wxWindows
+ % mkdir base-release
+ % cd base-release
+ % ../configure
+ # ignore the error messages about missing samples
+ % make
+ % make install
+
+You can also do:
+
+ % mkdir base-debug
+ % cd base-debug
+ % ../configure --enable-debug
+ % make
+
+To build the sample then cd to samples/console and make there.
+
+4. Documentation and support
+----------------------------
+
+ The console sample provided with this distribution tests most (but not all)
+wxBase classes. It doesn't do anything useful per itself but you may want to
+look at its code to see examples of usage of the class you are interested in.
+
+ There is no separate documentation for wxBase, please refer to wxWindows
+documentation instead.
+
+ Support for wxBase is available from the same places as for wxWindows itself,
+namely:
+
+* Usenet newsgroup comp.soft-sys.wxwindows
+
+* Mailing lists: see http://lists.wxwindows.org/ for more information
+
+* WWW page: http://www.wxwindows.org/
+
+
+ Hope you will find wxBase useful!
