+1.What is this ?
+----------------
+This is my own version of gnokii...
+
+It's related rather to improvements in command line gnokii and in the main code.
+It was created from CVS gnokii 0.3.3_pre8-gold and contains many other changes.
+I decided to make it, since gnokii project seemed to be frozen (from 07.2000 ?)
+and my changes were ignored
+
+In this moment CVS gnokii is developed again. It went into different
+direction (doesn't use threads and probably will work better on multi CPU
+systems), but many functions still are worse than in mygnokii
+Now there is small cooperation of these two projects(some new CVS source is in mygnokii and some things from mygnokii are in CVS),but they're more and more different and I don't know, if they will join
+again (well, I implemented almost all Smart Messaging and other functions
+Everything works rather correct and only bugs need to be removed. Because of
+it I'm not sure, if it will have sence for me to write it again for CVS gnokii- especially, that I don't like organisation there and IMHO every change needs
+there tons of explanations and emails)
+
+So, if you think, that mygnokii works better for you, use it and please help
+in improving or testing. I will try to answer on each your email (of course,
+I can't promise :-( ).
+
+If you like more CVS gnokii, use gnokii. That's all.
+
+2.Where to send your updates to gnokii ?
+----------------------------------------
+If you made something - patch, script, etc., which could be useful for gnokii
+users, please send it to the Marcin-Wiacek@Topnet.PL. THX
+
+3.How to apply patches ?
+------------------------
+Make "patch < patchfile", where patchfile is name of file with patch.
+
+4.How to create patches ?
+-------------------------
+1.copy source with gnokii, you start from, into "gnokii" dir
+2.copy source with gnokii, you want to modify, into "work" dir
+3.make changes in "work"
+4.go into subdirectory with "gnokii" and "work"
+5.make "diff -urx CVS gnokii work > patchfile"
+6.send "patchfile" to me ;-)
+
+5.TODO
+------
+6210:
+  * setting Picture Images
+  * support for voice tags in phonebook
+  * NBS (with preview) uploading for caller/op logos
+  * test and eventually make full support for speed dials
+
+Other:
+  * make DLR3 init using AT-commands (will work for more phones)
+  * 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 (Bostjan - I remember ;-))
+  * end xgnokii
+  * move some things from gnokii (lockfile, setting smsc in gnokii)
+
+6.BUGS and INCOMPATIBILITIES
+----------------------------
+Other:
+  * gnome viewers have sometimes problems with displaying bmp files
+    written by gnokii. This is NOT mygnokii fault.
+  * phone sometimes doesn't want to speak over mbus (when previous
+    transmission was cut - some ACK were not sent/received) in command line
+    gnokii in Unix/Linux. Must restart phone and then and works...
+  * sometimes, when read alphanumeric numbers, name is 1 char too long
+  * when save some SMS to phone (8 bit with UDH), after forwarding them
+    from phone menu they're changed. 100% firmware bug (6210, probably
+    each Nokia phone with SMS memory)
+
+-----
+If know some other, please let me know to marcin-wiacek@topnet.pl.
+Please include version of mygnokii, description of bug and debug info from it
+(you can use "logfile" option in gnokiirc to make it).
