+Stansoft is Linux financial accounting software for business. It uses a
+PostgreSQL database, which is included. You can optionally use an IBM
+Informix Innovator-C database, which can be downloaded free of charge from
+IBM. There is no limit on the number of users per installation, which
+allows for scalability from small to large companies. The user interface
+is ncurses / terminal based to optimize data entry efficiency. It can be
+run locally or deployed remotely on a virtual private server (VPS) in the
+cloud.
+
+You must have a stansoft user and group to run this script:
+# groupadd -g 325 stansoft
+# useradd -u 325 -g 325 -c \"Stansoft user\" -s /bin/bash stansoft
+
+If you wish to use IBM Informix, please add informix user and group as well
+# groupadd -g 326 informix
+# useradd -u 326 -g 326 -c \"Informix user\" -s /bin/bash informix
+
+NOTES:
+1) After installing the Slackbuild you must run the Stansoft installation
+ script /opt/stansoft/install
+
+2) Installation and setup help can be found in /opt/stansoft/README and
+ the manual is located at /opt/stansoft/doc/ssmanual.pdf
+
+3) stansoft and informix are the database administrator account, so please
+ set a strong password for it.
