+Installing the CHISE-core/CHISE-base package
+********************************************
+
+What is CHISE-core/CHISE-base
+=============================
+
+CHISE-core is a package to install core functionalities of the CHISE
+environment.  It contains the Concord Library, the CHISE Library
+(libchise) and the CHISE general character database (chise-db).  You
+can install them easily.
+
+CHISE-base is also an installation package, but it supports not only
+libchise but also XEmacs CHISE environment.  It contains whole
+elements of CHISE-core, XEmacs CHISE, tomoyo-tools (an Emacs Lisp
+utilities about character database for XEmacs CHISE) and the CHISE-IDS
+package.
+
+
+PREREQUISITES

+before installing CHISE-core.
+
+If you install CHISE-base, please install additional libraries to
+install XEmacs.
