+<p>
+Current stable release: <b>6.4.1</b>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Primary download site:
+<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3"
+target="_parent">SourceForge</a>
+</p>
+
+
+<p>
+Mesa is distributed in several parts:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li><b>MesaLib-x.y.z</b> - the main Mesa library source code, drivers
+ and documentation.
+</li>
+<li><b>MesaDemos-x.y.z</b> - OpenGL demonstration and test programs.
+ Most of the programs require GLUT (either the
+ <a href="http://www.opengl.org/resources/libraries/glut.html"
+ target="_parent">original GLUT by Mark Kilgard</a> or
+ <a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">freeglut</a> or
+ <a href="http://freeglut.sourceforge.net" target="_parent">OpenGLUT</a>).
+</li>
+<li><b>MesaGLUT-x.y.z</b> - Mark Kilgard's GLUT, easily compiled and used
+ with Mesa. Plus, other implementation of GLUT for DOS, OS/2, BeOS, etc.
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+If you're not interested in running the demos, you'll only need the first
+package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The packages are available in .tar.gz, .tar.bz2 and .zip formats.
+Other organizations might offer additional package formats.
+</p>
+
+<H1>Unpacking</H1>
+
+<p>
+All the packages should be in the same directory prior to unpacking.
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>To unpack .tar.gz files:
+<pre>
+ tar zxf MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz
+ tar zxf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz
+ tar zxf MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz
+</pre>
+or
+<pre>
+ gzcat MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+ gzcat MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+ gzcat MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+</pre>
+or
+<pre>
+ gunzip MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaLib-X.Y.tar
+ gunzip MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaDemos-X.Y.tar
+ gunzip MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz ; tar xf MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar
+</pre>
+<li>To unpack .tar.bz2 files:
+<pre>
+ bunzip2 -c MesaLib-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+ bunzip2 -c MesaDemos-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+ bunzip2 -c MesaGLUT-X.Y.tar.gz | tar xf -
+</pre>
+<li>To unpack .zip files:
+<pre>
+ unzip MesaLib-X.Y.zip
+ unzip MesaDemos-X.Y.zip
+ unzip MesaGLUT-X.Y.zip
+</pre>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h1>Contents</h1>
+
+<p>
+After unpacking you'll have these directories:
+</p>
+<pre>
+Makefile - top-level Makefile for most systems
+configs/ - makefile parameter files for various systems
+include/ - GL header (include) files
+bin/ - shell scripts for making shared libraries, etc
+docs/ - documentation
+src/ - source code for libraries
+src/mesa - sources for the main Mesa library and device drivers
+src/glu - libGLU source code
+src/glw - Xt/Motif/OpenGL widget code
+</pre>
+
+If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaDemos.X.Y package:
+
+<pre>
+progs/demos - original Mesa demos
+progs/xdemos - GLX OpenGL/Mesa demos
+progs/redbook - examples from the OpenGL Programming Guide
+progs/samples - examples from SGI
+progs/images/ - image files
+</pre>
+
+If you downloaded and unpacked the MesaGLUT.X.Y package:
+<pre>
+src/glut - GLUT library source code
+</pre>
+
