   License and costs

   Girder is a free program for personal use, as defined in the
   file copying.txt. If you want to include Girder on any distribution 
   media, any internet site I would like to know. Commercial usage
   requires a license.


   Installing

   Girder is very easy to install, either use the zipped version
   and install Girder into some subdirectory, or use the install
   version available on my homepage. Run Girder and set your 
   hardware type in the settings dialog. And you're off. For more
   information look at the help file.

   Localisation

   Girder is fully internationalizable this has been done for 
   serveral languages by various people over the globe. If your
   language isn't included, you could translate Girder yourself.
   I've written a tool to assist in the translation, it's 
   available on my homepage. Of course once you translated 
   Girder you could send me the translation, so I can include it
   in the distribution. 

   It's also possible to translate the helpfile of Girder.
   Uwe Heidrich was the first to offer his assistance, and he 
   translated the helpfile to German!

   Any of these translation will give you eternal fame and glory 
   in the thanks section and the gratitude of thousands of people
   in your country.

   new plugins will be made available via my homepage.
