+Check the CC and CFLAGS lines in the makefile
+
+If your C library does not support the times(3) function, change the
+#define TIMES to
+#undef TIMES in speed.c
+If it does, check the HZ value for the times(3) function.
+If your system does not define CLK_TCK it will be assumed to
+be 100.0.
+
+If possible use gcc v 2.7.?
+Turn on the maximum optimising (normally '-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer' for gcc)
+In recent times, some system compilers give better performace.
+
+type 'make'
+
+run './destest' to check things are ok.
+run './rpw' to check the tty code for reading passwords works.
+run './speed' to see how fast those optimisations make the library run :-)
+run './des_opts' to determin the best compile time options.
+
+The output from des_opts should be put in the makefile options and des_enc.c
+should be rebuilt. For 64 bit computers, do not use the DES_PTR option.
+For the DEC Alpha, edit des.h and change DES_LONG to 'unsigned int'
+and then you can use the 'DES_PTR' option.
+
+The file options.txt has the options listed for best speed on quite a
+few systems. Look and the options (UNROLL, PTR, RISC2 etc) and then
+turn on the relevant option in the Makefile.
+
+There are some special Makefile targets that make life easier.
+make cc - standard cc build
+make gcc - standard gcc build
+make x86-elf - x86 assembler (elf), linux-elf.
+make x86-out - x86 assembler (a.out), FreeBSD
+make x86-solaris- x86 assembler
+make x86-bsdi - x86 assembler (a.out with primative assembler).
+
+If at all possible use the assembler (for Windows NT/95, use
+asm/win32.obj to link with). The x86 assembler is very very fast.
+
+A make install will by default install
+libdes.a in /usr/local/lib/libdes.a
+des in /usr/local/bin/des
+des_crypt.man in /usr/local/man/man3/des_crypt.3
+des.man in /usr/local/man/man1/des.1
+des.h in /usr/include/des.h
+
+des(1) should be compatible with sunOS's but I have been unable to
+test it.
+
+These routines should compile on MSDOS, most 32bit and 64bit version
+of Unix (BSD and SYSV) and VMS, without modification.
+The only problems should be #include files that are in the wrong places.
+
+These routines can be compiled under MSDOS.
+I have successfully encrypted files using des(1) under MSDOS and then
+decrypted the files on a SparcStation.
+I have been able to compile and test the routines with
+Microsoft C v 5.1 and Turbo C v 2.0.
+The code in this library is in no way optimised for the 16bit
+operation of MSDOS.
+
+When building for glibc, ignore all of the above and just unpack into
+glibc-1.??/des and then gmake as per normal.
+
+As a final note on performace. Certain CPUs like sparcs and Alpha often give
+a %10 speed difference depending on the link order. It is rather anoying
+when one program reports 'x' DES encrypts a second and another reports
+'x*0.9' the speed.
