 # Linenoise
 
+## What's different in this fork?
+
+- Win32 console
+- full utf8 support (what about utf8 on windows)
+- insert control characters
+- no hints yet
+- now with multiline
+
+## How do I include linenoise line editing support in my application?
+
+From the Makefile:
+
+  linenoise-ship.c simplifies delivery of linenoise support
+
+  simple copy linenoise-ship.c to linenoise.c in your application, and also linenoise.h
+
+  * If you want win32 support, also copy linenoise-win32.c
+  * If you never want to support utf-8, you can omit utf8.h and utf8.c
+
+To enable utf-8 support, define USE_UTF8
+
+## Where do I get it?

 Since it's so young I guess there are a few bugs, or the lib may not compile or work with some operating system, but it's a matter of a few weeks and eventually we'll get it right, and there will be no excuses for not shipping command line tools without built-in line editing support.
 
-The library is currently less than 400 lines of code. In order to use it in your project just look at the *example.c* file in the source distribution, it is trivial. Linenoise is BSD code, so you can use both in free software and commercial software.
