+To make and install GF2 (Version 2-beta, 2/4/2004).
+
+1. Unpack GF2 and go to the source directory (the place where this 
+   INSTALL file is!)
+
+     tar tgz gf2-beta.tgz
+     cd GF2/src
+
+2. Make sure you have GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler), version 5.02 or later.
+   In Windows, you also need Cygwin.
+
+     ghc --version
+
+3. Compile with make, either of
+
+     make unix    -- for Linux, Solaris, Mac OSX
+     make windows -- for MS Windows
+
+   The binary is sent to the file GF2/bin/gf2
+
+4. For a quick test: start GF2, load a grammar and parse a string:
+
+     cd GF2/grammars/basic
+     ../../bin/gf2
+
+     -- when GF2 has started and shows the prompt >:
+     > p "every number is even or odd"
+     -- this is the response from GF2:
+     PredA1 (Every Number) (DisjA1 Even Odd)
+
+5. If you want to run the Java GUI, also do
+
+     make install-java
+
+   Then edit the file GF2/bin/jgf2 by changing
+   the value of GFHOME to the location of your GF2/bin directory. Test the
+   GUI with some grammars:
+
+     cd GF2/grammars/letter
+     ../../bin/gf2 <mkLetter.gfs
+     ../../bin/jgf2 Letter.gfcm
