Dear friends:
This is an image manipulation program called XNView. I just
downloaded the source tarball. But I can't figure out how to install
this program. It must be simple. And I have installed sh programs
before but there is usually an install.sh file. Not here. So, how do
I install it, please? I wrote to the author but just got a reply that
he is on vacation.

What does ReadMe.txt say?
Paul.
Dear Paul and friends:
I know it sounds amazing that an author would not include installation
instructions in his ReadMe.txt file, but here, for the record, is
complete transcript of the file. I don't believe there are any such
instructions.
