Version 0.1.4
* Updated execute_process() * No longer uses signals to wait for children. Should be a little faster. * Now every function uses output.c:send_*() instead of `FILE * output'

ltrace is a debugging tool, similar to strace, but it traces library
calls instead of system calls.
-2. How does it work
+2. Where can I find it
+----------------------
+At the moment, it's only available as a Debian package, but it should
+work at least with any other i386 ELF Linux. It's in:
+ * ftp://ftp.etsit.upm.es/pub/Linux/local/ltrace_*
+ * ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/project/experimental/ltrace_*
+Alternatively, you may find it in any Debian mirror. For more info,
+see ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors
+
+3. How does it work
-------------------
Using i386 software breakpoints, just like gdb.
-3. Where does it work
+4. Where does it work
---------------------
At the time of writting, it works only with Intel ELF executables. It
has been used only in Debian/GNU Linux, but it should work without any
problem in any other i386 Linux, such as SuSe or RedHat, and maybe in
other i386 based POSIX system, such as Hurd or *BSD.

+5. Bugs
-------
Too many to list here :). If you like to submit a bug report, or a
feature request, either do that against the Debian `ltrace' package,
or mail ``Juan Cespedes <cespedes@etsit.upm.es>''.
