                     16: For more details and the names of other contributors, see the
                     17: README file and gc.h.  This file describes typical use of
                     18: the collector on a machine that is already supported.
                     19:
                     20: INSTALLATION:
                     21: Under UN*X, type "make test".  Under OS/2 or Windows NT, copy the
                     22: appropriate makefile to MAKEFILE, read it, and type "nmake test".
                     23: Read the machine specific README if one exists.  The only way to
                     24: develop code with the collector for Windows 3.1 is to develop under
                     25: Windows NT, and then to use win32S.
                     26:
                     27: If you wish to use the cord (structured string) library type
                     28: "make cords". (This requires an ANSI C compiler.  You may need
                     29: to redefine CC in the Makefile.)
                     30:
                     31: If you wish to use the collector from C++, type
                     32: "make c++".  These add further files to gc.a and to the include
                     33: subdirectory.  See cord/cord.h and gc_c++.h.
                     34:
                     35: TYPICAL USE:
                     36: Include "gc.h" from this directory.  Link against the appropriate library
                     37: ("gc.a" under UN*X).  Replace calls to malloc by calls to GC_MALLOC,
                     38: and calls to realloc by calls to GC_REALLOC.  If the object is known
                     39: to never contain pointers, use GC_MALLOC_ATOMIC instead of
                     40: GC_MALLOC.
                     41:
                     42: Define GC_DEBUG before including gc.h for additional checking.
                     43:
