+BRIEF OVERVIEW
+==============
 
-    BRIEF OVERVIEW
-    ==============
-
-    This is the freeglut package.
-    
-    Freeglut, the Free openGL Utility Toolkit, is meant to be a free alter-
-    native to Mark Kilgard's GLUT library. It is distributed under an X-Consor-
-    tium style license (see COPYING for details), to offer you a chance to use 
-    and/or modify the source.
-    
-    It makes use of OpenGL, GLU, and pthreads-win32 libraries. The library does
-    not make use of any GLUT code and is not 100% compatible. Code recompilation
-    and/or slight modifications might be required for your applications to work
-    with freeglut.
-    
-
-    PORTS
-    =====
-
-    Both X11 and Win32 ports are in an advanced alpha stage, which means that
-    they provide limited functionality of GLUT API 3. There is an investigation
-    en course to check if the BeOS port could be easily done using the current
-    freeglut structure.
-
-
-    INSTALLATION
-    ============
-
-    See the INSTALL file.
-    
-    
-    CONTRIBUTING
-    ============
-    
-    Bug and missing features patches are certainly welcome. Just as comments 
-    and FREEGLUT API 1 propositions are.
-
-    Just please to make the fixes look visually just as the rest of the code 
-    does (tabs converted 4 white spaces). Comments are really welcome, as I 
-    believe it would be nice for people fresh new to OpenGL see how the things
-    are done... 
-

-    WEB SITE AND CONTACTING THE AUTHOR
-    ==================================
-
-    Freeglut project has moved to the SourceForge:
-    http://freeglut.sourceforge.net
-        
-    
-    THE HOPE
-    ========
-    
-    Hope you find my work somehow useful.
-    Pawel W. Olszta, <olszta@sourceforge.net>
-
-
-    PASSING THE BATON
-    =================
-
-    In late December 2000, Pawel decided that he no longer
-    wished to maintain freeglut because he has moved out of
-    the graphics field.  I volunteered to take over from him
-    and have been running the project since Jan 13th 2001.
-
-    I'm also the author and maintainer of the PLIB library suite
-    and 'freeglut' really fits in well with that work.
-
-    I just hope I can live up to Pawel's high standards. Pawel
-    remains on the active developers list.
