+Version 0.2b, Treaty of Babel Revision 7
+This is the source code for babel, the Treaty of Babel analysis tool.

+
+To build babel:
+
+1. compile all the source files in this directory
+2. link them together
+3. the end
+
+For folks who find makefiles more useful than generalizations, there is a
+makefile provided for babel.  The makefile is currently configured for
+Borland's 32-bit C compiler.  Comment out those lines and uncomment the block
+which follows for gcc.
+
+To compile babel-get, first compile babel, then do the same thing in the
+babel-get directory.
+
+To compile ifiction-aggregate, ifiction-xtract, babel-list, and simple-marry,
+first compile babel, then compile the relevant C file in the extras/ directory
+(These may rely on #include files from the babel directory, so, for example,
+to compile ifiction-aggregate, "gcc -c -I.. ifiction-aggregate.c"), then link the
+opbject file to the babel and ifiction libraries (babel.lib and ifiction.lib
+under Windows, babel.a and ifiction.a most everywhere else.  eg.
+"gcc -o ifiction-aggregate ifiction-aggregate.o ../babel.a ../ifiction.a")
+
+Babel is intended to accept contributions in the form of treaty modules
+as defined by the treaty of babel section 2.3.2.
+
+These modules should use the declarations made in treaty.h.
+The file treaty_builder.h generates a generic framework which simplifies
+the task of writing treaty modules.  Its use is not required for treaty
+compliance, but it should prove useful.
+
+Parts of babel are intended for use in other programs.  When adapting
+babel's source, the files babel.c, babel_story_functions.c and
+babel_ifiction_functions.c will probably not prove useful.  However, you
+may wish to use babel_handler, which provides a framework for loading a
+story file, selecting the proper treaty modules, and seamlessly handling
+blorb-wrapped files.
