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

Thank you for downloading VE v3.5g for Linux! 

VE  is  extremely  simple  to  "install"  on x86 based computers. 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  Open Office Writer 1.1.5 format (.sxw file), and the
other  in  PDF (.pdf file). OpenOffice.Org 1.1.5 or later is recommended
for  viewing  the  Open  Office Writer version of the documentation. The
PDF  may  be viewed with any of a number of tools, including Adobe's PDF
viewer,  the X-Windows xpdf program, or simply by clicking on the PDF in
KDE's  Konqueror  file  manager  if  you are running, or have access to,
KDE. 

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  a number of x86 Linux distros, including SuSE
Linux  9.3, SuSE Linux 9.0, Mandrake 10.1, Debian 3.1, CCux-Linux 0.9.7,
Yoper  2.1,  aLinux  12.5,  VectorLinux  5.1, Knoppix 3.4 and Damn Small
Linux 1.2. 

Enjoy  VE!  If  you  have  ANY  issues  with it, please send an email to
support@campbellware.com.  We  will  make every effort to respond to and
resolve issues raised.
