+
+Installing popclient is easier than ever. From within this directory,
+type:
+
+ ./configure
+
+The autoconfiguration script will spend a bit of time figuring out the
+specifics of your system. If you want to specify a particular compiler
+(e.g. you have gcc but want to compile with cc), set the environment
+variable CC before you run configure.
+
+Next run
+
+ make
+
+This will compile popclient for your system. Lastly, become root and
+run
+
+ make install
+
+This will install popclient. By default, popclient will be installed
+in /usr/local/bin, with the man page in /usr/local/man/man1, and the
+GNU info file in /usr/local/info. If you wish to change these defaults,
+edit the Makefile AFTER you run "configure" but BEFORE you run
+"make install." You can easily choose a prefix other than /usr/local,
+or you can choose completely different directories for each item.
+
+See the file sample.poprc for a description of configuring your
+individual preferences.
+
+Enjoy!
