Dependencies:
	tcl    >= 8.5
	tk     >= 8.5
	tcllib >= 1.10

	Before we even start; verify that Tcl/Tk is installed on your system. You can do this by executing these commands
	in a terminal window.

		whereis tclsh
		whereis wish

	Those two commands should return a path to where the executables are. If you get an error, or receive no feedback, you will most 
	likely need to install Tcl/Tk.
	

	We strongly recommend that you use Tcl/Tk 8.4.11 or higher. However savIRC will work with older versions if you cannot use a later
	version.

	You must also be ROOT to install. If you just want to use it on your own, copy all the contents to your
	desired location, and run savirc with: wish /path/to/savirc.tcl

Special Note:
	For FreeBSD users, you must specify which wish/tclsh if there are two or more versions installed on your system.
	
Makefile Help:
	Type 'make --help' to see your options. It is similar to this document.

Install Options:
	By default savIRC will install to /usr/local/lib. If you wish to change that use the PREFIX option.
		Example:
			make install PREFIX=/my/new/path
	If you have two or more versions of Tcl/Tk installed, and you want to specify which version to use for savIRC. You may use the WISH
	Option to do so.
		Example:
			make install WISH=wish8.4

Installation:
	After verifying that you have Tcl/Tk installed, switch to Root, and type 'make install', in the directory that you just decompressed.
	To clean up type 'make clean'. This will delete the savirc-* install directory.
	
Running:
	After the installation; type 'savirc' to run savIRC.

If you're reading this, you're probably done installing. Congratulations. :)

If you are using a Beta, or a Monthly Build, installation is not needed. Create a directory if you do not want to over write your old savIRC directory.
Then move the savIRC files there, and double-click on savirc.exe to run.

Your configuration files will be safe. And savIRC will use your existing configuration files.
