The primary output of the source here is the lib/libyaz.a library,
which contains support functions for implementing the server or client

Windows programmers: refer to the file windows.txt which describes how
to build the software using Microsoft Visual C++.
On Unix, GNU configure is used to configure YAZ and generate Makefiles.
Type "./configure", then "make" to build YAZ.
+Note: If you are using the CVS snapshot of YAZ you must have autoconf,
+automake and libtool installed. Before running configure generate
+support files by running buildconf.sh which is part of YAZ.

Two test-programs of interest are generated when you type 'make' at the
top level: ztest/yaz-ztest and client/yaz-client. Ztest is a dummy
database server which returns canned responses to all queries. It's good
server - This is the implementation of the server frontend. It
provides event-handling and server managament functions,
and calls the backend primitives (best documentation of these
- is in the file include/backend.h).

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.
+include/yaz - The various header files.
lib - The libraries. Primarily libyaz.a. The makefile gathers the
libraries from previous modules into libyaz.a.
