+Glulxe: the Glulx VM interpreter
+Version 0.4.4
+
+    Designed by Andrew Plotkin <erkyrath@eblong.com>
+    http://eblong.com/zarf/glulx/index.html
+
+* Compiling
+
+Since this is a Glk program, it must be built with a Glk library. See
+the Glk home page at
+
+http://eblong.com/zarf/glk/index.html
+
+The Unix Makefile that comes with this package is designed to link any
+of the Unix libraries (XGlk, GlkTerm, and CheapGlk.) You'll have to
+go into the Makefile and set three variables to find the library. There
+are instructions at the top of the Makefile. Then just type
+
+    make glulxe
+
+That should suffice. When the program is built, type
+
+    ./glulxe filename.ulx
+
+where "filename.ulx" is a Glulx game file to execute.
+
+To build this program on a Macintosh, you'll need the MacGlk library.
+See the instructions that come with that. It's fairly straightforward;
+compile the library, the source code, and the "macstart.c" file.
+
+Ditto for Windows, using "winstart.c".
+
+* Version
+
+0.4.4:
+    Added profiling code, which is turned off by default. To compile it 
+    in, define VM_PROFILING in Makefile or in glulxe.h.
+    Added function-accleration feature.
+    Fixed bug where @random 0 was returning only positive numbers.
+
+0.4.3:
+    Verify the presence of Unicode calls in the Glk library at runtime.
+    (Thanks Simon Baldwin.)
+    Added a compile-time option to check for invalid memory accesses.
+    (This is slower, but safer. Define VERIFY_MEMORY_ACCESS in Makefile
+    or in glulxe.h. Thanks Evin Robertson.)
+    Fixed a memory leak of undo states. (Thanks Matthew Wightman.)
+    Fixed a linked-list handling error for Glk unicode arrays. (Thanks
+    David Kinder.)
+
+0.4.2:
+    Fixed a bug that preventing compiling with old (pre-Unicode) Glk
+    libraries.
+
+0.4.1:
+    Added array copy and heap allocation functionality. (Glulx spec 
+    3.1.0.)
+
+0.4.0:
+    Added Unicode functionality. (Glulx spec 3.0.0.)
+
+0.3.5:
+    Fixed El-Stupido bug in the modulo opcode.
+
+0.3.4:
+    Finally supports string arguments to Glk calls.
+
+0.3.3:
+    Added setiosys, getiosys opcodes.
+    Fixed bug in binarysearch.
+
+0.3.2:
+    Added search, jumpabs, callf, and gestalt opcodes.
+
+0.3.1:
+    Startup code now handles Blorb files correctly.
+
+0.3.0:
+    Added support for compressed strings.
+
+0.2.2:

+
+0.2.0:
