+----------------
+
+This is mate-calc, a fork of gnome-calc, the calculator application that was
+previously in the OpenWindows Deskset of the Solaris 8 operating system.
+
+It incorporates a multiple precision arithmetic packages based on the work
+of Professor Richard Brent, who has also kindly given me permission to make
+it available.
+
+There is a single graphics driver for Gtk3 included with this release.
+
+
+2. Getting started.
+-------------------
+
+The manual pages also describe how to use mate-calc in detail.
