+This is an updated version of the ORCALib library suitable for use with
+GNO 2.0.6.  For those library functions that it implements, it contains
+the same updates and fixes as the standard version of ORCALib included
+with ORCA/C 2.2.0 B4.  However, under GNO, some portions of the C standard
+library are implemented by GNO's libc rather than by ORCALib, and so
+updating ORCALib will not affect those library functions.  This applies
+to all of <stdio.h>, as well as to certain other functions.
+
+This library update is intended for use with ORCA/C 2.2.0 B4, but it
+should also be compatible with ORCA/C versions back to 2.1.
+
+To install the update, copy the new version of ORCALib into the /lib
+directory, replacing the version provided with GNO 2.0.6.
