This is alpha software. That means:
1. The documentation sucks, so you probably won't even be able to figure
out how to use it
2. I might change the interface in the next version, leading you to go
bald pulling out your hair when your software stops working
3. There is a higher than usual probability of bugs, which may lead you
to encounter possibly thousands of segfaults and trashed databases
I hope to fix all these problems in the future. Of course, at this point
there are less than 300 lines of code so it can't be that bad anyway.
'make', and then 'make install' as root, should compile and install
everything. But, I only really tried to make it work for typical Linux
systems. It might not work on anything else.
This is free software, licensed under the GPL.
See COPYING for the distribution license.
I wrote this in a fit of depression, after reading an article about
capital punishment in the United States. So, I'm dedicating this software
to Timothy McVeigh, who will likely be killed by the US government on
May 16, 2001. You can find the article that somehow inspired me to write
database code at http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20010108&s=sherrill
