3See the file "NEWS" to find out what is new in this Flex release.

5Read the file "INSTALL" for general installation directives. Peek near
6the beginning of the file "Makefile.in" for special DEFS values. On most
7systems, you can just run the "configure" script and type "make" to build
8flex; then "make check" to test whether it built correctly; and if it did,
9then "make install" to install it.
10
11If you're feeling adventurous, you can also issue "make bigcheck" (be
12prepared to wait a while).

14Note that flex is distributed under a copyright very similar to that of
15BSD Unix, and not under the GNU General Public License (GPL), except for
16the "configure" script, which is covered by the GPL.
