+
+
+General Information
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick & easy development of user interfaces
+for the Gtk+ toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.
+The user interfaces designed in Glade are stored in XML format,
+enabling easy integration with external tools.
+In particular libglade can load the XML files and create the interfaces
+at runtime. The DTD for the XML files is included with libglade, and is
+also at http://glade.gnome.org/glade-2.0.dtd.
+Other tools are available which can turn the XML files into source code
+in languages such as C++, Perl and Python.
+
+
+About Glade-3
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This version of Glade (Glade-3) is a complete rewrite of the original
+Glade codebase.
+It has useful new features (Undo/Redo, MultiProject support) and has a
+cleaner architecture, note however that it is not ready yet for everyday
+use and lacks support for additional widgets, as Gnome and Gnome-db widgets.
+One of the main differnces from glade-2 is that C code generation has been
+removed from glade-3: this has been done on purpose, since using generated
+code is deprecated; the preferred way to use glade files is with libglade.
+Another important thing to note is that the XML format has _not_ changed, 
+so you can work on the same project both with glade-3 and with glade-2.
+For a more details on what has changed, what still needs work, etc. see
+the NEWS, BUGS and TODO files.
+Comments, bug reports and patches are more than welcome.
+
+
+License
+~~~~~~~
+
+Glade is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), as described
+in the COPYING file.
+Note that you are free to use whatever license you like for the source code
+generated by Glade. (We do not consider the code generated by Glade to be

+
+
+Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ o GTK+ 2.0.0 or above - http://www.gtk.org
+   You also need the glib, pango and atk libraries.
+   Make sure you have the devel packages as well, as these will contain the
+   header files which you will need to compile C applications.
+
+ o libxml 2.4.1 - used to parse the XML files. If you have GNOME 2 you
+   should already have this.
+
+
+Installation
