+MUSCLE v3.0 source code README
+------------------------------
+
+http://www.drive5.com/muscle
+
+This version of MUSCLE was built and tested on two platforms:
+Windows XP and Red Hat Linux 8.0.
+
+On Windows, I used Microsoft Visual C++ .Net, which I find
+to be the best C++ compile / edit / test environment I've
+tried on any platform. The Microsoft project file is
+muscle.vcproj.
+
+The Linux make file is Makefile. This is a very simple-minded
+make file (because I am a Linux development novice), so should
+be easy to understand. By default, it uses shared libraries,
+but I found this to give problems when copying between
+different Linux versions. The fix was to use the linker
+flag -lm static (commented out), which gives a much bigger
+but more portable binary. The posted binary was linked with
+static libraries.
+
+The source code was not written to be maintained by anyone
+but me, so the usual apologies and caveats apply.
