+# rainbow
+
+rainbow helps you build colorful output for both 8- and 256-color
+terminals.  It works only on Unix-like operating systems.
+
+rainbow is on Github:
+
+http://www.github.com/massysett/rainbow
+
+and Hackage:
+
+http://hackage.haskell.org/package/rainbow
+
+rainbow is licensed under the BSD license; see the LICENSE file.
+
+## Versioning
+
+rainbow releases are numbered in accordance with the Haskell
+Package Versioning Policy.
+
+rainbow does not set its dependencies in accordance with the
+Package Versioning Policy, as I do not set upper bounds.  rainbow
+is guaranteed to build with the *minimum* versions specified in the
+cabal file.  I also include a dependencies.txt file that
+documents more recent dependencies that are also known to work.
+
+If you find that rainbow does not build due to dependency problems:
+1) please let me know at omari@smileystation.com; 2) feel free to
+add appropriate upper bounds or patches to the package as
+appropriate; and 3) feel free to add command-line contraints to your
+cabal command to get it to build.
