sprech 0.1.9 - 2002.01.01 - softpixel
http://prj.softpixel.com/sprech/
-------------------------------------

Sprech is a simple network sockets library designed to make network programming
quick and easy.  This release features both Unix and Windows support.  The
Windows stuff is in the vc directory, and compiles with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.

-------------------------------------------
           Installation -- Unix
-------------------------------------------


   * place the source where you want it ( /usr/src or /usr/local/src is a
      good idea )
   * 'make'
   * 'make install'

that's all.  This will create the file sprech.h in /usr/local/include, and the
library sprech-0.1.9.a in /usr/local/lib.  You may want to run 'ldconfig' after
installation, and will probably need to be logged in as root.


-------------------------------------------
          Installation -- Windows
-------------------------------------------

   * go to the vc directory, open sprech.dsw in msvc.
   * click build.

That will build the library for you.  It's up to you to get it in the
right place.
   * c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib 
and
   * c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include 
might be good places to try.

-------------------------------------------
       Making programs use Sprech
-------------------------------------------

Making programs is easy.  Simply 
   * #include <sprech.h> for Unix
or
   * #include  "[installed-dir]\sprech.h" for msvc.

and finally, link sprech into the executable 
   * for unix: -lsprech for gcc
   * for mscv:
      * click project -> settings
      * click the link tab
      * add [installed-dir]\sprech.lib and wsock32.lib (standard winsock library)
