-Seit Version 0.2.2-pre gehoert Apple A/UX zu den offiziell unterstuetzten
-Platformen. Er ist im vollen Funktionsumfang nutzbar.
 
-Folgende Software wird jedoch benoetigt:
+Since version 0.2.2-pre Apple's A/UX belongs to the officially supported 
+platforms. It is not restricted in any way.
 
-  - GNU C Compiler (gcc)
-    Bezugsquellen:
-    http://www.rezepte-im-web.de/appleux/gcc281.tar.gz
-    ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/AUX/Software/Development/gcc281.tar.gz
+Since version 0.5.0 ngIRCd's source compiles with the native A/UX c 
+compiler. GNU C isn't a must-have anymore.
 
-  - GNU make
-    Bezugsquellen:
-    http://www.rezepte-im-web.de/appleux/make-3.79.tar.gz
-    ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/AUX/Software/Development/make-3.79.tar.gz
+The following software packages are needed:
 
-  - GNU sed
-    Bezugsquellen:
-    http://www.rezepte-im-web.de/appleux/sed-3.02.tar.gz
-    ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/AUX/Software/Tools/sed-3.02.tar.gz
+ - GNU sed
+   Source:
+   http://www.rezepte-im-web.de/appleux/sed-3.02.tar.gz
+   ftp://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/tools/sed-3.02.tar.gz
 
-  - libUTIL.a
-    Bezugsquellen:
-    http://ftp.mayn.de/pub/apple/apple_unix/Sys_stuff/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz
-    ftp://arthur.ath.cx/pub/AUX/Software/Libraries/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz
+   A/UX comes with /bin/sed which isn't supporting all functions needed
+   by GNU automake/autoconf.
 
-Nachdem diese Pakete entsprechend installiert sind, reicht ein ganz normales
-"./configure" und "make" aus, um den ngIRCd unter A/UX zu compilieren.
+   Warning: When installing GNU sed please make sure that A/UX doesn't
+   use the old one anymore which means set the $PATH or replace /bin/sed
+   at all.
 
+ - libUTIL.a
+   Source:
+   ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/apple/apple_unix/Sys_stuff/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz>
+   ftp://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/libraries/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz
 
-Hier die Zeiten von Alex System (Macintosh SE/30, 32 MB, A/UX 3.0.1):
-configure: 7:33, make: 12:02
+   This library contains functions that are common on other UNIX
+   systems but not on A/UX e.g. memmove(), strerror() and strdup().
 
 
+After installation of these packages just do a "./configure" and "make" to
+compile ngIRCd on A/UX.
+
+
+A few hints in case of errors:
+
+ - Either there's an 'install' on your system which is completely broken
+   (so 'configure' uses its own shell script) or use a fully functionable one.
+   There's at least one binary "out there" causing problems. The one
+   of the GNU fileutils works fine:
+   ftp://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/tools/fileutils-4.0.tar.gz
+
+ - The precompiled binary of the old 'bash' shouldn't be installed within
+   /bin (better do this in /usr/local/bin) because 'configure' would
+   choose it as its shell which wouldn't work.
+
+ - Because of limitations of /bin/sh on A/UX it can't be used to create
+   the 'config.status' script. Better rename /bin/sh to /bin/sh.AUX and
+   replace it by a symbolic link to /bin/ksh (ln -s /bin/ksh /bin/sh as
+   root).
+   These procedure shouldn't cause you into problems and is recommended
+   even if you don't use ngIRCd.
