============
I. Compiling

a8cas-tools have been successfully compiled under Linux and Windows XP. They
should work without problems on any Unix-like system (also on MacOS X).
Building the executables for Windows works by means of the MinGW toolset.

To compile a8cas-tools, you'll need liba8cas library and its header files
installed. It should be available from the place you downloaded the
a8cas-tools package.

1. Go to the a8cas-tools/ directory

2. Check whether there's a file named "configure" in this directory. If not
(as in the case of getting the sources straight from the repository), you'll
have to create it yourself. For this operation you'll need Autoconf and
Automake. Get them at http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ . Now run

    autoreconf -i

3. Run configure:

    ./configure

4. Run:

    make

a8cas-tools should compile successfully.

II. Installation

1. To install a8cas-tools, from the a8cas-tools build directory run:

    make install

Typically you'll need superuser privileges to run that command.
This will cause the a8cas-convert and a8cas-info programs to be installed.

III. Uninstallation

Remove the a8cas-tools programs from your system by invoking from the
a8cas-tools build directory:

    make uninstall
