Virtual Photo Album (vphotoalb)
===============================

Consider this version to be:

  Version 0.95(beta) 20000518

All of the contents of this package are copyright by Chris Studholme and
licenced under the FSF General Public Licence.  See the file COPYING for
details.

This software has been developed and tested on a RedHat 6.2 GNU/Linux system.  
It currently relies on PHP3, Apache, PostgresSQL/MySQL, and some shell
commands.  It should be relatively easy to port the software to another
operating system (even Windows), another web server, or another database
server.  It would be much harder to port this software to a scripting language
other than PHP3 (except maybe PHP4).  

Contents are as follows:

  AUTHORS   - list of contributing authors
  BUGS      - known problems and workarounds
  COPYING   - licence
  ChangeLog - detailed log of changes
  INSTALL   - installation instructions
  NEWS      - brief description of per distribution changes
  README    - this file
  TODO      - my notes concerning the direction this software is headed
  docs      - all other documentation
  html      - files that go in a directory accessable by the web server
  scripts   - scripts useful for creating images
  sql       - SQL queries to create tables needed by the album

This software makes use of the kdc2tiff software written by me to create the
photos needed for the album.  It is not manditory that you install kdc2tiff
and other image manipulation software (like 'convert' on Linux machines) could
be used if you are willing to do some minor porting of this code.  For 
kdc2tiff, see:  http://kdc2tiff.sourceforge.net/
