+Oblong is self-explanatory; just call it without arguments.
+
+For Mac or Linux, you may have to make the file executable;
+open a command shell, go to the directory where oblong-linux
+or oblong-mac is, and type "chmod a+x oblong <enter>".
+
+You can rename binaries; the program does not keep track of
+its own name.

+--------------------------------------
+Notes for compilation
+
+
+For Linux or Mac:
+
+    gcc -O3 -o oblong -DBITS64 oblong.c
+
+    For linux, you may have to add "/usr/lib/libm.a"
+    after "oblong.c" (the library containing calls to
+    some math functions).
+
+For Windows (Watcom):
+
+    create a project, and define (under Options/C compiler switches)
+    a macro "WATCOM" under "Source switches" --this is so that
+    the program will use functions in the Watcom library, enabling
+    it to handle larger files.
