+Now that you have the lsof distribution, I suggest:
+
+*  If you're unfamiliar with lsof, read 00README for information on
+   Configuring and building lsof, 00QUICKSTART for tips on using lsof.
+
+   If you're too impatient for that, do this:
+
+      $ ./Configure <put your UNIX dialect's abbreviation here>
+        (Do the inventory step, as you prefer.)
+        (Do the customization step, as you prefer.)
+      $ make
+      $ ./lsof -h
+
+   To get a list of UNIX dialect abbreviations:
+
+      $ Configure -h
+
+   Please don't be impatient -- read the documentation first.
+
+*  Read the current distribution's details in 00DIST.  (The
+   ChangeLog file points to 00DIST.)
+
+*  If you want technical details, read 00DCACHE and 00PORTING.
+
+*  If you want to cross-configure, read 00XCONFIG.
+
+*  Use the test suite, described in 00TEST, by:
+
+	$ cd tests
+	$ make
+
+   and possibly:
+
+	$ make opt
+
+*  If you're having trouble, read 00FAQ.  (Please read 00FAQ before
+   you send a bug report.)
+
+*  Lsof contributors may find their names in 00CREDITS.  (Thanks, again.)
+
+*  Read the lsof.man page file.  Its nroff source is in lsof.8.
+
+*  Consider subscribing to the lsof-l mailing list -- read 00LSOF-L
+   for details.
