+# This script will build the AppleCommander executable.  Make sure that the
+# SWT library (swt.a) is available - see build-swt-linux-gtk if this needs
+# to be built.
+
+# The SWT jar files are required as well as the AppleCommander jar file.
+# Additionally, the SWT *.so files will be required to run AppleCommander.
+# Last but not least, the image files are required by AppleCommander and
+# are expected to be in the same directory as Java would expect them to
+# be in - but you can remove all the other class or java files.
