+This is a beta-release of the LBL 'whiteboard'.
+
+Before using wb, read the file NOTES from the distribution (note
+especially the .sd.tcl change needed if you are running sd v1.14
+or earlier) and print and read the postscript file lblwb.ps.
+
+If you simply want a shared "whiteboard" drawing surface, you
+don't need to do anything but install wb. But wb can also be
+used to export, view and annotate arbitrary PostScript files.
+If you want to include PostScript images in your wb conference,
+either your X server has to support Display PostScript (the DEC
+& SGI X servers do) or wb has to be able to exec the public
+domain postscript renderer `GhostScript'. If you want to
+render postscript with Ghostscript, it has to be installed on
+your machine and has to be in your shell search path with the
+name "gs".
