+Change the prefix variable in ./Makefile to be the directory in which
+you would like to install the Harvest Cache.  The default is
+/usr/local/harvest.
+
+To build and install the Harvest Cache, type:
+
+        % make all
+        % make install
+
+To run a Cache, you will need to:
+
+	1. set the HARVEST_HOME environment variable, as appropriate:
+	      % setenv HARVEST_HOME /usr/local/harvest
+
+	2. customize the cached.conf configuration file:
+	      % vi $HARVEST_HOME/lib/cached.conf
+
+	3. start the cache:
+	      % $HARVEST_HOME/bin/RunCache
+
+If you want to use the WWW interface to the Cache Manager, copy
+the cachemgr.cgi program into your httpd server's cgi-bin
+directory.
+
+Alternatively, you can configure your HTTP server to recognize CGI
+scripts in $HARVEST_HOME/cgi-bin.  For example, with NCSA httpd, add
+this line to the srm.conf file:
+
+        ScriptAlias /Harvest/cgi-bin/ Your-HARVEST_HOME/cgi-bin/
+
+Then, use <URL:http://host/Harvest/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi> to access the
+WWW interface to the Cache Manager.
+
+For further or more detailed instructions on how to run the Cache, 
+refer to the Harvest User's Manual:
+        http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/doc.html
+
+To run the Cache as an httpd accelerator, follow the instructions here:
+        http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/httpd_accel.html

+This is a special distribution that contains only the Harvest object
+cache.  The cache is an element of the Harvest Information Discovery and
+Access System, offering high performance proxy caching for Mosaic,
+Netscape, Lynx, and other World Wide Web clients.  It supports URLs via
+HTTP, FTP, and Gopher.
+
+The Harvest cache outperforms other popular Internet caches (such as the
+CERN cache) by a factor of 10-100, because the Harvest cache never
+forks, is implemented with non-blocking I/O, keeps meta data and
+especially hot objects cached in RAM, caches DNS lookups, supports
+non-blocking DNS lookups, and implements negative caching both of
+objects and of DNS lookups.  A technical paper discussing the Harvest
+cache and providing performance comparisions is available from
+ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/pub/cs/techreports/schwartz/HarvestCache.ps.Z
+
+The Harvest cache may also be run as an ``accelerator'' for HTTP servers, as
+described in http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/harvest/httpd_accel.html
