+TclCurl - get a URL with FTP, TELNET, LDAP, DICT, FILE, HTTP or HTTPS syntax.
+
+TclCurl gives the Tcl programmer access to the facilities of libcurl, for more information
+about what libcurl is capable of check http://curl.haxx.se.
+
+To make type:
+
+      ./configure ?--enable-threads?
+      make
+      make install
+
+The configure script will deduce $PREFIX from the tcl installation.
+The generated Makefile uses the file $PREFIX/lib/tclConfig.sh that was left by
+the make of tcl for most of its configuration parameters.
+
+There is another README to explain how to compile in Windows.
+
+Troubleshooting
+
+If you are running Red Hat or Fedora and you are compiling from source,
+make sure the directory '/usr/local/lib' is listed in '/etc/ld.so.conf',
+if it isn't add it before installing cURL.
+
+If the configure script doesn't detect Tcl even though it is there, it
+is probably because there is no 'tclConfig.sh' file, maybe you need
+to install a 'tcl-devel' package or maybe it would be a good idea
+to download Tcl/Tk 8.4.5, the latest version, and install that.
+
+Usage:
+
+    package require TclCurl
+
+    set curlHandle [curl::init]
+
+    curlHandle perform
+
+    curlHandle getinfo curlinfo_option
+
+    curlHandle duphandle
+
+    curlhandle cleanup
+
+    curl::transfer
+
+    curl::version
+
+    curl::escape url
+
+    curl::unescape url
+
+    curl::curlConfig option
+
+Check the man page for details.
