+The Ecere SDK v0.44 - http://ecere.com
+
+The Ecere SDK is a cross-platform toolkit for building software applications.
+It currently runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X (through X11).
+With the Ecere SDK, you can develop applications once and deploy them on all
+supported platforms alongside a lightweight runtime environment.
+It introduces eC, an object oriented language derived from and fully compatible
+with C, compromising neither runtime performance nor ease of use.
+A built-in 3D engine supporting both Direct3D and OpenGL is fully integrated.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ * INSTALLATION *
+
+Please refer to the latest instructions at http://ecere.com/wiki/
+
+To build from source, simply type make.
+
+It should build fine on Linux, on Windows with MinGW,
+and on Mac OS X with a bit of luck.
+
+To install, type make install.
+
+Please note that at this time eC and the Ecere SDK only support 32 bit.
+However, you should still be able to use the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
+64-bit support is planned for the future.
+
+ * DOCUMENTATION *
+
+The Ecere Tao of Programming is a Programmer's Guide (still work in progress)
+that will teach you the foundations of eC and Ecere. You will find it under:
+
+On Windows: %PROGRAMFILES%\Ecere SDK\doc\Ecere Tao of Programming [work in progress].pdf
+On Linux/Unix: /usr/share/doc/tao.pdf
+
+Please refer the samples that come with the SDK:
+
+On Windows they get installed in %APPDATA%\Ecere SDK\Samples
+On Linux/Unix they get installed in /usr/share/ecere/samples/
+You can also find the latest versions on GitHub:
+
+http://github.com/ecere/sdk/tree/master/samples
+
+The Documentor is a tool under development to browse and document the APIs of
+eC modules. You can use it to browse all available classes, methods and properties
+of the Ecere runtime library.
+However, at the moment the tool itself is being improved, and so not much
+descriptive info has been added yet.
