+With Scid you can maintain a database of chess games, search games by
+many criteria, view graphical trends, and produce printable reports
+on players and openings. There are many more features as well. With
+Scid you can also play against various engines or on Internet (FICS).
+
+To enjoy Scid at its full power, you should download these files:
+The Player Information / spellcheck data:
+	<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/scid/ratings_2008_4.zip>
+Photo data:
+	<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/scid/photos2007.zip>
+Scidlet opening books:
+	<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/scid/scidlet40k.zip>
+Place them in the same directory of the source and the will be included
+in the package. 
+
+Please see the manpage (man scid) for Slackware-specific information
+regarding the opening books permissions.
+
+This SlackBuild does not build the two engines shipped with Scid, togaII
+and phalanx, because it places them in a non-standard directory and they
+are full-featured stand-alone programs. You should instead use the build
+scripts provided for them here at SlackBuilds.org.
+
+Optional dependencies (for sound, advanced graphics and correspondence
+chess): tDOM, the Img package (tkimg) and Snack sound package. These
+packages are *not* required for the build and are searched and loaded
+when the program starts. If not found, Scid simply disables these
+features.
