+       uIP/FOSSIL Version 1.0
+       ======================
+
+       Welcome to the wonderful world of TCP/IP on MS-DOS!  This package is
+   a port of uIP Version 1.0 from Adam Dunkels to MS-DOS systems running
+   FOSSIL (Fido-Opus-Seadog Standard Interface Layer) drivers.  The TCP/IP
+   device is implemented as a SLIP (Serial Line Interface Protocol)
+   connection via the FOSSIL driver.
+
+       The implementation is compatible with SLIP drivers present on
+   GNU/Linux systems and probably many others.  The driver implements
+   normal SLIP (as opposed to CSLIP or even PPP) connections, which are a
+   bit on the slow side.
+
+       This port of uIP is licensed under the highly permissive modifed BSD
+   license, as explained in the COPYING file.
+
+       The source code encompasses a complete port of uIP to
+   SLIP-over-FOSSIL setups.  As an example, the web server application has
+   been modified and included in the source code.  Other uIP applications
+   should be able to compile using the SLIP and FOSSIL code from this port
+   with minimal to no modifications.
+
+       Compiling
+       =========
+
+       uIP in general and the FOSSIL port in particular are designed to
+   compile on almost any ANSI C compiler.  The code does not use any
+   floating point mathematics.
+
+       This uIP port was engineered to compile using the OpenWatcom
+   compiler.  The uIP project is contained in the topmost 'watcom'
+   directory.  The entire project is stored in 'uip-rb.wpj', and a single
+   target, 'httpd.exe', has been defined for this project.
+
+       Prior to building the uIP project, the FosLib15 library must be
+   built.  The library provides a simplified C interface to the FOSSIL
+   driver.  The library source code is located in 'slip/foslib15'
+   directory, and a watcom project file is located in the 'watcom'
+   subdirectory.
+
+       A Makefile has been included that is compatible with Turbo C 2.0.
+   However, Turbo C seems to get confused during compile on certain files.
+   Use at your own risk...
+
+       The Web Server
+       ==============
+
+       The example web server code included implements a rather simple, yet
+   complete, http server solution.  To start the web server over a SLIP
+   connection, use the following command:
+
+       HTTPD <gateway ip> <local ip> <netmask> <com port> <speed>
+
+       The com port is 0-based, meaning COM1 would be '0'.  The speed is
+   any acceptable FOSSIL speed up to and including 38400 when applicable.
+
+       The web server must be located in the same directory as the root web
+   pages it will be serving.
