HOWTO

# libunistring 1.1
# ================
# Slackware 14.1, 14.2: libunistring 0.9.3
# Slackware 15.0: libunistring 0.9.10

# If you ever want to uninstall libunistring, or just clean up files from
# an old version before installing this one, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions.
#
# If you have a previously installed libunistring under the /usr/local
# prefix, do that because we are now using the /usr prefix to match
# Slackware.  There is a libunistring package as of Slackware 14.1

# Prerequisites:
# glibc's iconv or libiconv
# texinfo's texi2dvi
# teTeX or TeX Live's dvips
# Perl

# Get it
