The GNU Enterprise Application Server
=====================================

The GNU Enterprise Application Server is the core of the n-tier variant of the
GNU Enterprise system.
To the front end (be it GNUe Forms, GNUe Reports or any other tool), it
provides user-defineable business objects with arbitary fields and methods.
While transforming access to those fields and methods into database
communication and calling of scripts, it cares about stability, security,
speed, and consistency.

The GNUe Appserver is still under heavy development and not ready to be used
in production environments.  This is a preview release.
Please refer to the file named `NEWS' to see which version you are looking at
here, and what has changed since earlier versions.

To install GNUe Appserver on your system, follow the procedure described in the
file `INSTALL'.

The directory `samples' contains several files that help you to try out GNUe
Appserver once you have installed it.  Please refer to the file `README' in
that directory for details.

GNU Enterprise is free software.  See the file `COPYING' for the terms and
conditions for copying, distribution and modification.

Please send bug reports to gnue-dev@gnu.org
