README File for VE v3.5g
========================

Thank you for downloading VE v3.5g for Mac OS X!

VE  is extremely easy to "install". Simply unpack the tarball (which you
have  done  if  you  are  reading  this!),  cd  into the ve-3.5g-release
directory  that  is  created  and  copy  the file "ve" to any convenient
location  on  your  executable  search path. Thats it - you are ready to
use  VE!  Simply type "ve" or "ve filename" and you are off and running.
The  "Quick Start" page of the User Manual will help you to be immediate
productive with VE. 

A  complete  user  manual  has  been  included.  Two  versions of it are
provided,  one in NeoOffice 2.0 format (.sxw file), and the other in PDF
(.pdf  file).  NeoOffice  2.0  or  later  is recommended for viewing the
NeoOffice  version  of the documentation. The PDF may be viewed with any
of  a  number  of  tools, including Adobe's PDF viewer, Mac OS X Preview
and any other PDF compatible viewer. 

The  full  source  for  VE  3.5g  is  included.  It  may be found in the
ve-3.5g-src  folder  hierarchy created as part of unpacking the tarball.
Note  that  the  majority  of  the  source  is  located  in  the  "prog"
subdirectory of the ve-3.5g-src folder tree. 

VE  has  been  tested on under Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.7 and 10.4.8, running
on  a  PowerMac G5. At this time, no Universal binary is available. Note
that  this  version  of VE has also been extensively verified using Arch
