+Basic Installation
+==================
+
+   $ cd src
+   $ ./configure 
+   $ make 
+
+This will build some useful utilities:
+
+mdb-dump   -- simple hex dump utility that I've been using to look at mdb files
+mdb-schema -- prints DDL for the specified table
+mdb-export -- export table to CSV format
+mdb-tables -- a simple dump of table names to be used with shell scripts
+mdb-header -- generates a C header to be used in exporting mdb data to a C prog.
+mdb-parsecvs -- generates a C program given a CSV file made with mdb-export
+
+And some utilities useful for debugging:
+
+prcat      -- prints the catalog table from an mdb file,
+prkkd      -- dump of information about design view data given the offset to it.
+prtable    -- dump of a table definition.
+prdata     -- dump of the data given a table name.
+
+Once MDB Tools has been compiled, libmdb.a will be in the src/libmdb directory
+and the utility programs will be in the src/util directory.

TODO

@@ -3,10 +3,12 @@ Things to Do
 
 . Complete the list of datatypes
 . Figure out how to properly determine fixed or variable length columns
-. Figure out how NULLs are stored in data rows
 . Figure out what happens for varchar columns starting at > 256
 . Modify mdb-schema utility support different backend databases
 . Modify mdb-export to handle different delimiters/options
-. Get autoconf working
+. Get automake working
 . Check out text file unixODBC driver to see if it can be adapted to use
   libmdb (it already has a SQL parser).
+. Straighten out which functions in libmdb are meant to be used and which ones
+  should be static.
+. Create an API reference for libmdb (maybe some man pages).
