+to make it work with Mercury (these changes are documented in the file
 ./clpr/README.Mercury).  CLP(R) is copyright by IBM (International Business
 Machines Corporation); see ./clpr/README for more information,
 particularly the RESEARCH SOFTWARE DISCLAIMER and the USER AGREEMENT.
 
+CLP(R) solves constraints on real (floating point) numbers,
+and in particular systems of simultaneous linear equations and inequations.
+There is also support for non-linear constraints, although the solver is
+not complete for such constraints; solving of non-linear constraints is
+simply delayed until enough variables are bound to make them linear.
+
 The files cfloat.m, cfloat_float.m, float_cfloat.m, and dump.m in
 this directory provide the Mercury interface to the CLP(R) constraint solver. 
 The files in the `samples' directory are a few example programs that use
 this interface.
+
+This has been tested on the following systems:
+	sparc-sun-solaris2.5
+	dec-alpha-osf3.2
+	i586-pc-linux-gnu
