1) PURPOSE

  The language Euklides provides simple and powerfull commands for
creating elementary euclidean geometry figures.  The underlying
philosophy is to avoid as much as possible the use of coordinates.

  The X-Window program `xeuklides' is a complete system for editing
and viewing figures described in this language. The figures can be
interactive, i.e., while viewing, it is possible to modify some nu-
merical values using the keyboard.
  
  If you want to insert some geometry figures in a TeX document, you
should also get the `euklides' distribution. It provides a compiler
which translates an Euklides source file into `pstricks' commands.

  See file COPYING for more details.

3) INSTALL

  To build `xeuklides' you'll need to have `flex' and `bison' installed.
There is no special feature used, so it should be possible to you use
other implementations of `lex' and `yacc'. You'll need also GTK+ 1.2. 

  As usual, type "make install".  Default installation directories are
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/man' and `/usr/info'.  You'll have to edit the
Makefile to change this.

4) DOCUMENTATION

  Once installed see man page for usage and info page for language des-
cription.
