OpenMW - the completely unofficial reimplementation of Morrowind
================================================================

License: See GPL3.txt
Current version: 0.6
Date: 2009 mar. 2


QUICK NOTE: You must own and install Morrowind before you can use
OpenMW. Let me repeat that: OpenMW will NOT run if you do not have
Morrowind installed on your system!



Installation
============

Currently supported platforms are Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. Most
testing is done on Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP Professional.

For instructions, see one of the following:

README-win32.txt    - instructions for binary Windows release
COMPILE-win32.txt   - instructions for building from source on Windows
COMPILE-linux.tx    - instructions for building from source on Linux / Unix

Linux 64 does NOT work, because of problems with the D compiler. We
hope to sort this out at some point, but right now it's simply not
supported.



Programs included in this package:
==================================

openmw      - The main program. Run openmw -h for a list of options.

esmtool     - Used to inspect ES files (ESM, ESP, ESS). Run without
              arguments to get a list of options.

bsatool     - Tool for viewing and extracting files from BSA archives.
              (Can also be used to test the NIF parser on a BSA.)

niftool     - Decodes one or more NIF files and prints the details.
