   This is an unsupported port of GMP to Power Macintosh and MacOS. This
   port is *not* for OS X which is a Unix derivative, that system can use
   the normal configure and make described in the GMP manual.
   
   This port will use the optimized 'mpn' assembler routines written for
   32 bit PowerPC to gain speed. The BSD MP compatible library is not

   to optimize for speed.

 CODEWARRIOR MPW INSTALLATION  MACPERL MPW INSTALLATION
 ============================  ========================
   
 The CodeWarrior installer should install everything for you.  Drag these archives to the "StuffIt Expander" icon to unpack them.
   The result is two installation programs. Run the "Mac_Perl_520r4_appl"
   installer and let it install Perl into the default location, then run
   the "Mac_Perl_520r4_tool" insaller.
   
 The CodeWarrior compiler search for headers in the directory  To enable MPW to use MacPerl follow the instructions in the first
 "MWCInclude" (located inside the "Interfaces" folder, inside the  comment in the file "Install.MPW_Perl". For MacPerl 520r4 this is
 "Interfaces&Libraries" folder inside the "CodeWarrior MPW" folder, if  
 it doesn't exist you have to create it)  
   
 Copy the content of the following folders inside the "MWCInclude" folder:    - Double click on the "MPW Shell" icon to start MPW and change the
       directory to the "MacPerl f" folder using the directory command or
       the "Set Directory..." menu item.
   
  - "CIncludes" (path: Metrowerks CodeWarrior: MacOS Support:    - Execute the "Install.MPW_Perl" command, i.e. write the name of the
    Universal: Interfaces: CIncludes)      command at the end of the "Worksheet" window, select the command
       text and hit the "Enter" key". This will create a configuration
       file and open it.
   
  - "Include" (path: Metrowerks CodeWarrior: MSL: MSL_C:    - Execute the "Install.MPW_Perl" command again.
    MSL_Common: Include)  
   
 Copy the file "ansi_prefix.mac.h" inside the "MWCInclude" folder    - Execute the text the script wrote to the "Worksheet" window, i.e.
