+For more details and the names of other contributors, see the
+README file and gc.h. This file describes typical use of
+the collector on a machine that is already supported.
+
+INSTALLATION:
+Under UN*X, type "make test". Under OS/2 or Windows NT, copy the
+appropriate makefile to MAKEFILE, read it, and type "nmake test".
+Read the machine specific README if one exists. The only way to
+develop code with the collector for Windows 3.1 is to develop under
+Windows NT, and then to use win32S.
+
+If you wish to use the cord (structured string) library type
+"make cords". (This requires an ANSI C compiler. You may need
+to redefine CC in the Makefile.)
+
+If you wish to use the collector from C++, type
+"make c++". These add further files to gc.a and to the include
+subdirectory. See cord/cord.h and gc_c++.h.
+
+TYPICAL USE:
+Include "gc.h" from this directory. Link against the appropriate library
+("gc.a" under UN*X). Replace calls to malloc by calls to GC_MALLOC,
+and calls to realloc by calls to GC_REALLOC. If the object is known
+to never contain pointers, use GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC instead of
+GC_MALLOC.
+
+Define GC_DEBUG before including gc.h for additional checking.
