  This program is in very early developing stage. Please use at your
  own risk.
  
* Requirements

  Liece works under following environment at least.
  
  - Emacs 20.7
  - XEmacs 21.4 or later
  
  This package uses following libraries.
  
  - APEL 10.3 or later
       ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/

* Quick installation

  (Install APEL, then)
  % ./configure
  % make
  % su
  Password:
  # make install
  
  If you are not able to become super-user, you may specify local
  directory to install.
  
  % ./configure --prefix=~/ --with-lispdir=~/elisp

* Configuration and running
  
** Setting up your ~/.emacs   
  
  If you are using Emacs 20.7 or XEmacs, prepare `subdirs.el' with the
  following contents, Emacs will find and append each substantial
  directory to `load-path' automagically.

  ex:
  (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)

  If you have never been using liece and/or its variants, 
  add an autoload setting into your `~/.emacs'.

  ex:
  (autoload 'liece "liece" nil t)

** Setting up your ~/.liece/init.el
  
  If you have never run Liece, and quite unsure to configure startup
  files in Emacs Lisp, please copy `sample.dot.emacs' file to
  `~/.liece/init.el'.
  
* Optional packages

  Following packages are optional. If install script of this package
  found them, it would use various functionality provided by them.
