+How to setup VM:
+
+0) Look at the Makefile and change the values of EMACS_VERSION,
+   EMACS, INFODIR, LISPDIR, and PIXMAPDIR.  If they are not right for your
+   system, change them.
+
+   Note that version 18 of Emacs is no longer supported.  VM may
+   or may not work under v18.
+
+1) Do one of these:
+     `make'.
+     `make vm.info' to build the Info online help document.
+     `make all' to make everything.
+   Ignore the compiler warnings.
+
+2) Put all the .elc files into a Lisp directory that Emacs knows
+   about.  (see load-path).
+
+3) If you're using XEmacs 19.12 and you want toolbar support,
+   make a directory called `vm' in the XEmacs `etc' directory.
+   Copy the files in pixmaps directory into the directory you
+   just created.  VM will look for the pixmap there by default.
+
+   Alternately you can put the pixmap files in any directory you
+   want or just leave them where they are.  Be sure to point the
+   variable vm-toolbar-pixmap-directory at the direrctory where
+   you put the files.
+
+4) If you built the Info document, copy the file vm.info file into
+   the Emacs' info directory under the name "vm".  Edit the "dir"
+   file in that directory and add a menu entry for VM, if it's
+   not in there already.
+
+5) Put these lines in your .emacs file if they aren't there
+   already:
+
+   (autoload 'vm "vm" "Start VM on your primary inbox." t)
+   (autoload 'vm-other-frame "vm" "Like `vm' but starts in another frame." t)
+   (autoload 'vm-visit-folder "vm" "Start VM on an arbitrary folder." t)
+   (autoload 'vm-visit-virtual-folder "vm" "Visit a VM virtual folder." t)
+   (autoload 'vm-mode "vm" "Run VM major mode on a buffer" t)
+   (autoload 'vm-mail "vm" "Send a mail message using VM." t)
+   (autoload 'vm-submit-bug-report "vm" "Send a bug report about VM." t)
+
+You're now ready to use VM.  C-h i should start up the Emacs Info
+system and if you've installed the Info document properly you can
+use the online documentation to teach yourself how to use VM.
+(Note: the Info document is currently only completely accurate for
+version 4 of VM.)
+
+Please use M-x vm-submit-bug-report to report bugs.  The bug report
+will be sent to bug-vm@uunet.uu.net and be gatewayed from there to
+gnu.emacs.vm.bug.
+
+The latest version of VM can usually be found at ftp.uu.net in
+the networking/mail/vm directory.
