+Standard Windows DLL
+====================
+
+The DLL provided in the BCB/win32dll directory is meant as the sole candidate
+for distributions, based on libmng.dll, that install the DLL into the public
+Windows system-directory. The outline herein defines the requirements to
+which such a distribution must comply. If you cannot comply with these
+requirements please install the dll in the same directory as your application
+and NOT in the Windows system-directory!!!
+
+
+1) Only the DLL already assembled in the libmng distribution may be used for
+ other distributions!
+
+2) Only stable public releases are eligible for distribution! A public release
+ is one where the y-value of the x.y.z version-code is an even number.
+ Eg. 1.0.0, 1.2.1, 2.4.7, etc.
+
+3) The installation program MUST store the DLL in the Windows system-directory!
+ Eg. C:\WinNT\System32, C:\Windows98\System
+ (Note: InstallShield users can use the <SYSDIR> variable)
+
+3) The installation program MUST flag the file as a shared library!
+
+4) The installation program MUST NOT install the DLL if a newer version
+ already exists in the Windows system-directory! The standard DLL provided
+ contains the Windows-default version-numbering system. PLEASE USE IT!!
+ DO NOT rely on the date or size of the files.
+
+5) An uninstall procedure MAY NOT remove the DLL if other applications are
+ still linked to it! Proper handling as a shared library is imperitive.
+
+6) TEST IT, TEST IT, TEST IT!!! (I just can't stress this enough)
+ If you don't have enough time, let someone else test it BEFORE you
+ distribute!
+
+
+The penalty for violating these rules is inclusion of your name in the list
+of endangered but useless species (just below the GIF entry!), and on my
+blacklist. YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED!
