+1.What is this ?\r
+----------------\r
+This is my own version of gnokii...\r
+\r
+It was created from CVS gnokii 0.3.3_pre8-gold and contains many other changes.\r
+I decided to make it, since gnokii project seemed to be frozen (from 07.2000 ?)\r
+and my changes were ignored\r.
+\r
+In this moment CVS gnokii is developed again. It went into different\r
+direction (doesn't use threads and probably will work better on multi CPU\r
+systems), but many functions still are worse than in mygnokii\r
+
+\rNow there is small cooperation of these two projects\r(some new CVS source is in
+mygnokii and some things from mygnokii are in CVS), \rbut they're more and more
+different and I don't think, that they will join\r again
+(well, I implemented almost all Smart Messaging and other functions\r
+Everything works rather correct and only bugs need to be removed. Because of\r
+it I'm not sure, if it will have sence for me to write it again for CVS gnokii\r-
+especially, that I don't like organisation there and IMHO every change needs\r
+there tons of explanations and emails)\r
+\r
+So, if you think, that mygnokii works better for you, use it and please help\r
+in improving or testing. I will try to answer on each your email (of course,\r
+I can't promise :-( ).\r
+\r
+If you like more CVS gnokii, use gnokii. That's all.\r
+
+2.Where to send your updates to gnokii ?\r
+----------------------------------------\r
+If you made something - patch, script, etc., which could be useful for gnokii\r
+users, please send it to the Marcin-Wiacek@Topnet.PL. THX\r
+\r
+3.How to apply patches ?\r
+------------------------\r
+Make "patch < patchfile", where patchfile is name of file with patch.\r
+\r
+4.How to create patches ?\r
+-------------------------\r
+1.copy source with gnokii, you start from, into "gnokii" dir\r
+2.copy source with gnokii, you want to modify, into "work" dir\r
+3.make changes in "work"\r
+4.go into subdirectory with "gnokii" and "work"\r
+5.make "diff -urx CVS gnokii work > patchfile"\r
+6.send "patchfile" to me ;-)\r
+
+5.TODO
+------
+6210:
+  * support for voice tags in phonebook
+  * NBS (with preview) uploading for caller/op logos
+  * probably speed dials need some improvements
+
+Other:
+  * support for 5210, 5510, 6310, 6510, 8310 (sniffs required)
+  * support for irda sockets in win32
+  * EMS
+  * support for more AT phones and commands
+  * compatibility with gnomecal
+  * end xgnokii
+
+6.BUGS and INCOMPATIBILITIES
+----------------------------
+Other:
+  * gnome viewers have sometimes problems with displaying bmp files\r
+    written by gnokii. This is NOT mygnokii fault.
+  * phone sometimes doesn't want to speak over mbus (when previous\r
+    transmission was cut - some ACK were not sent/received) in command line
+    gnokii in Unix/Linux. Must restart phone and then and works...\r
+  * sometimes, when read alphanumeric numbers, name is 1 char too long
+  * when save some SMS to phone (8 bit with UDH), after forwarding them\r
+    from phone menu they're changed. 100% firmware bug (6210, probably\r
+    each Nokia phone with SMS memory)\r
+\r
+-----\r
+If know some other, please let me know to marcin-wiacek@topnet.pl\r.
+Please include version of mygnokii, description of bug and debug info from it
+(the best, if you can compile it with debug and send me it; if have only
+ executables, you can use "logfile" option in gnokiirc to make it).
