+This directory is for implementing STLplus as a library collection. The\r
+libraries are to be found in the directories:\r
+\r
+ containers\r
+ persistence\r
+ portability\r
+ strings\r
+ subsystems\r
+\r
+The documentation is in the 'docs' directory and starts with index.html.\r
+\r
+To build the STLplus3 library collection, use the project files supplied at\r
+this level - 'Makefile' for gcc, 'stlplus3.sln' for Visual Studio 9 (2008),\r
+'stlplus3.dsw' for Visual Studio 6 (and 7 or 8).\r
+\r
+The 'source' directory is provided with script files that allow the library\r
+collection to be merged into one large library - termed the monolithic build.\r
+See source/README.txt for instructions.\r
