+ for AIX Toolbox
+
+Author: Tor Arntsen
+
+The spec file in this directory is based on the Linux ssl and non-ssl
+curl spec files, plus additions to make it AIX Toolbox compatible.
+
+The AIX Toolbox setup (installs into /opt/freeware, with symlinks in
+/usr/bin,/usr/lib,/usr/include) are based on IBM's aixtoolbox spec
+file written by David Clissold <cliss@austin.ibm.com>, see
+
+ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aixtoolbox/SPECS/curl-7.9.3-2.spec
+
+This spec file is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the
+old spec file found at the above link. Thus, like the old spec file
+this version is also a unified ssl/non-ssl version. To get non-ssl
+RPMs just pass --define 'nossl 1' to the command line when building
+the RPM, e.g.
+
+rpm -bb --define 'nossl 1' curl.spec
+
+Default is to build with ssl support.
+
+Lastly, the spec file expects the Curl source distribution file to be
+in .tar.bz2 format.
+
+The nifty cURL header of this README is a ripoff of the vms/readme file.
