+ UNIX QUICK BUILD NOTES
+
+These quick build notes assume that you have installed OpenSSL before
+attempting to build this software, and that you do not have any non-default
+configuration parameters.
+
+If you need additional information in building this software with OpenSSL,
+please refer to the docs/SSLBUILD file for more information.
+
+If you intend to build this software with a non-default configuration
+(including building a non-compliant server without SSL support), please
+refer to the docs/BUILD file for more information.
+
+1) Look in the top-level Makefile and find your system type code. For example,
+ modern versions of Linux will use either "slx", "lnp", or one of the
+ lnp-variants (such as "lrh").
+
+2) Type "make" followed by the system type, e.g. "make slx".
+
+3) Install the POP2 daemon (ipopd/ipop2d), the POP3 daemon (ipopd/ipop3d), and
+ the IMAP daemon (imapd/imapd) on a system directory of your choosing.
+
+4) Update /etc/services to register the pop2 service on TCP port 109, the
+ pop3 service on TCP port 110, and the imap service on TCP port 143. Also
+ update Yellow Pages/NIS/NetInfo/etc. if appropriate on your system.
+
+5) Update /etc/inetd.conf (or install files on /etc/xinetd.d) to invoke the
+ POP2, POP3, and IMAP daemons on their associated services.
+
+6) If your system uses PAM authentication, be sure to set up /etc/pam.d/imap
+ (*not* /etc/pam.d/imapd) and /etc/pam.d/pop (*not* /etc/pam.d/ipop3d or
+ /etc/pam.d/pop3d or /etc/pam.d/popd or /etc/pam.d/pop3).
+
+7) Unless you built your system without SSL support, you will need to set
+ up SSL server certificates as described in docs/SSLBUILD.
+
+6) That's all!
+
+Read the file docs/BUILD and docs/SSLBUILD if you need more detailed
+information and/or you don't understand these quick build instructions.
+
+ MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
+
+ mtest has been run under UNIX, DOS, Windows, NT, Macintosh, TOPS-20, and
+VMS. It is a very primitive interface, however, and is suited mainly as a
+model of how to write a main program for c-client. You should take a look at
+the source to figure out how to use it. Briefly, it first asks for a mailbox
+name (either a local file path or an IMAP mailbox in the form
+"{hostname}mailbox") and then puts you in a command mode where "?" will give
+you a list of commands.
+
+ Pine is available separately on the FTP.CAC.Washington.EDU archives.
+
+ The focus of development and support is for UNIX and Win32 (including
+Windows 95/98/Millenium, Windows NT, and Windows 2000). The other ports are
+not frequently used or tested, and may be incomplete.
