+Dabo will be installed using the Python distutils - python setup.py install,
+but that isn't set up yet, so here is a quick blurb to get you going.
+
+Dabo is a runtime library, which your applications will import using standard Python
+syntax. Therefore, it needs to be in PYTHONPATH, so that your 'import dabo' statements
+will find it. The easiest way to do this is to put dabo into your Python installation's
+site-packages directory. The easiest way to find out where this is on your system (yes,
+it varies, so we can't just tell you where it is) is to start Python and query sys.path.
+
+For instance:
+
+[pmcnett .AT. sol dabo]$ python
+Python 2 DO.T 3.2 (#1, Oct 6 2003, 10:07:16)
+[GCC 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)] on linux2
+Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
+>>> import sys
+>>> sys.path
+['', '/home/pmcnett/dl/python/wxPythonSrc-2.5.1.5/wxPython', '/usr/lib/python23.zip',
+'/usr/lib/python2.3', '/usr/lib/python2.3/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk',
+'/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages',
+'/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/PythonCAD', '/usr/local/gnue/lib/python']
+
+I can see that my site-packages directory is installed in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages.
+So I can then copy or symlink the dabo root directory there to make it importable. You
+will likely need administrative privileges to do this on your system, unless you happen
+to be running Windows.
