Welcome to cIRCus 0.40!
-----------------------

Unfortunately, there is not much documentation about cIRCus yet. But 
hopefully, you won't need that much anyway :). Mark is working on some
docs, and they can be previewed at 

	http://www.cs.vu.nl/~mpdboer/circus/circus_help_main.html

Feedback is, as always, greatly appreciated!

You can simply start circus by typing 'circus', which is a shell script
that starts circus (either the shared or static version, depending on
which you downloaded).

A note for those who use the shared version:
--------------------------------------------

Warning! this is a dynamically linked binary! It requires the following
libraries to be installed:

[ivo@iago circus040-shared]$ ldd circus-040-shared 
        libtk4.1.so => /usr/lib/libtk4.1.so
        libtcl7.5.so => /usr/lib/libtcl7.5.so
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0
        libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1.8.5
        libg++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libg++.so.27.1.0
        libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27.1.0
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.5
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.9

If you get errors that some of these cannot be loaded, get the statically
linked version from the cIRCus homepage:

	http://www.nijenrode.nl/~ivo/circus

Which is also the place for all other problems you may encounter, and some
very simpel documentation.

Note for those upgrading from previous versions:

It is advisable to copy the .circusrc from this version to your current 
.circusrc, or at least have a look at the current .circusrc to see the
changes..

Also, have a look at the finger.tcl script, the first cIRCus script around! :)

I hope you enjoy using cIRCus!

	Ivo (cIRCus development team)

PS: Remember, it's *cIRCus*, not cIRC!
