-The Net::Z3950::ZOOM, ZOOM and Net::Z3950 modules
-=================================================
-
-This distribution contains three Perl modules for the price of one.
-They all provide facilities for building information retrieval clients
-using the standard Z39.50 and SRW/U protocols, but do so using
-different APIs.
-
-- If you are new to this distribution, then you should use the ZOOM
- API, and ignore the others. It is the cleanest, most elegant and
- intuitive, and most closely follows the letter as well as the spirit
- of the Abstract ZOOM API as specified at http://zoom.z3950.org/api/
-
-- If you have used the old Net::Z3950 module and have to maintain an
- application that calls that API, then you will want to use the
- Net::Z3950 classes provided in this distribution, which provide an
- API compatible with the old module's implemented on top of the new
- ZOOM code.
-
-- You should definitely not use the Net::Z3950::ZOOM API, which is not
- object-oriented, and instead provides the thinnest possible layer on
- top of the ZOOM-C functions in the YAZ toolkit. This API exists
- only in order to have ZOOM API built on top of it.

-DEPENDENCIES
-
-This module requires these other modules and libraries:
-
-- The YAZ toolkit for Z39.50 and SRW/U communication. This is
- available as a package on several platform -- for example, Debian
- GNU/Linux supports "apt-get install yaz". For others, you will need
- to download and build the source-code, which is much more
- straightforward that you probably expect. You can get it from
- http://indexdata.com/yaz/
-
- NOTE THAT THE ZOOM-Perl MODULE ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES RELEASE 2.0.11 OR
- BETTER OF THE YAZ TOOLKIT. You need version 2.1.17 or better if you
- want to run clever asynchronous programs that use the END event,
- which did not exist prior to that release.
