    RELEASE NOTES

        This is the v3 release.  The reason for the increment of the
        major version number (from v2) is that man2html will run only
        under Perl 5.  man2html is no longer compatible with Perl 4.
        Along with the change to Perl 5, several enhancments have been
        made.  See the CHANGES file for a summary.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    INSTALLATION

        To install man2html, type the following command:

    	% perl install.me

        The installation process will ask you a series of questions on
        where the Perl executable is and where to put man2html.  Just hit
        <CR> to accept the default values listed in ()'s.

        Notes on installation process:

    	o  The '#!' line in the installed man2html program is set
    	   to point to the Perl executable specified in the
    	   installation process.

    	o  If you specify paths that do not exist, the install.me
    	   program will create the path.

    	o  man.cgi must be installed manually into you HTTP server's
    	   cgi-bin directory.  Read the start of man.cgi for any
    	   site specific changes that may be required for proper
    	   execution.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    DOCUMENTATION

        A manpage for man2html gets installed as part of the installation
        process.  The HTML, test, and PostScript versions of the
        documentation (dervied from the manpage) are also provided in the
        doc directory, but are not automatically installed by "install.me".

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        If you have any bugs/comments/suggestions about man2html, feel

            o  Version of the program in question.
            o  The exact command-line used to invoke the program.
            o  Error/diagnostic message from the program.
            o  Any other information that might prove useful.

        If you have questions on what man2html can, or cannot do, please
        read the documentation first.  If the docs do not answer your
        question(s), feel free to e-mail me.
