- I still have to finish some dialogs, the printing routines and a few GUI items but
-all the rest should work fine. I'd also like to warn you that this is my first Linux

INSTALLATION
------------
- Instalation should be very simple for most systems, first you need get the

- Now you should unzip the files to a temporary directory (you probably already did
-that) and move the file 'leocad' to /usr/local/bin/ and the 4 files from the pieces
-library to /usr/share/LeoCAD/. If you wish to have the library files installed in
-another place, set the environment variable LEOCAD_LIB to that directory or start
-the program with the -l <path> option.
