 Dear User:
 
-This archive contains 2 files which provide Grobner basis support for the
-free computer algebra system Maxima. In order to use the package, start your
-Maxima and put it in the lisp mode (on most systems, CTRL-C will do this),
-and execute the following commands:
+This archive contains files which provide Grobner basis support for the
+free computer algebra system Maxima. In order to use the package, 
+ 1. Copy the files in this directory to your favorite location;
+   or better, checkout the contents of this repository with SVN.
+ 2. Edit the file "grobner.mac" to modify the location of the Lisp
+   files, to reflect your choice made in previous step.
+ 3. Start your Maxima and load the file "grobner.mac"
+ 4. Optionally, compile the Lisp files, so that the next file
+    you load "grobner.mac", the compiled (.fasl) versions of
+    the files will be loaded.
 
-(compile-file "grobner.lisp")
-(load "grobner.fasl")   
+This version has been verified to work under this Maxima version:
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+Maxima 5.34.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
+using Lisp SBCL 1.2.4-1.fc21
+----------------------------------------------------------------
 
-The .fasl extension may need to be replaced with a Lisp-specific
-extension for some lisp implementations.
-
-It should also be possible to compile and load from the Maxima prompt:
-
-compile_file("grobner.lisp");
-load("grobner.fasl");
-
-This version has been verified to work under Maxima 5.16.3, using SBCL.
 It should also be portable across other ANSI Common Lisp implementations.
