Here is a guide to the documentation and LPRng files,  and the order
you might want to read it in.  Files marked with + should (must?)
be read in order to succesfully install LPRng.

+ README.1st      - this file

+ README.install  - installation for the impatient
  ******** READ the README.install !!! *********

+ HOWTO/LPRng-HOWTO.html - the LPRng HOWTO - provides answers
  to many questions and much of the information that was
  previously in README files.

Optional Reading:

man/*           - manual pages - references for various components
DOC/Intro       - introduction and overview

Read these if you have problems or unusual requirements.
  Much of the information is included in the LPRng-HOWTO.html
