The primary output of the source here is the lib/libyaz.a library,
which contains support functions for implementing the server or client
role of Z39.50/SR.
+Windows programmers: refer to the file windows.txt which describes
+how to compile the software using Microsoft Visual C++.

Two test-programs of interest are generated when you type 'make' at
-the top level. server/ztest and client/client. Ztest is a dummy database
+the top level: ztest/ztest and client/client. Ztest is a dummy database
server which returns canned responses to all queries. It's good for

client - A demonstration client. If we come upon a good design for a
higher level client API, that will live here.
+ztest - A demonstration server that implements a backend.
+
include - The various header files.
makelib - This is a simple utility that gathers the libraries from the
lib - The libraries. Primarily libyaz.a.
