+Introduction
+------------
+
+Tux Commander is a windowed file manager with 2 panels side by side similar to 
+popular Total Commander or Midnight Commander file managers. The main goal of
+this project is to create powerful and user friendly file manager for Unix 
+operating systems.
+
+General features:
+ *  Graphical application, uses GTK2 windowing toolkit
+ *  Two directory panels side by side (vertical)
+ *  Tabbed interface, buttons for quick access to favorite places
+ *  Configurable mounter bar for quick access to removable media and 
+    network shares
+ *  Multilingual user interface
+ *  Basic VFS (Virtual File System) support, allowing you to browse archives 
+    and network places
+ *  Extendable via plugin system, several VFS modules available 
+    in the distribution
+ *  Portable, no installation required, usable right after the extraction
+ *  Designed for GNOME and XFCE desktop environments while preserving complete
+    independency (libraries are loaded dynamically when available)
+ *  Extension-based file type actions (associations)
+ *  Threaded file operations
+ *  Large files (> 4GB) support
+ *  Main application written in Object Pascal language (with FreePascal 
+    as default compiler), plugins are written in C/C++ language 
+
+
+Using Object Pascal language might be considered as limiting factor, however 
+we recently switched to FreePascal compiler, solving many compatibility issues.
+Also, the x86_64 port was introduced and is officially supported as well as 
+the i386 platform. Kylix compatibility will be still maintained though.
+This project uses Pascal GTK2 bindings from the gtk2 for pascal project,
+which are now part of FreePascal v2.0 distribution.
+
