+ONScripter is a program that interprets a script written for
+NScripter visual novel engine in its own way.
+
+Please note that this is NOT onscripter-en that has seen a wide
+adoption in circles translating Japanese visual novels to English;
+instead it is the original source by Ogapee that onscripter-en has
+been forked from. Please be advised that playing games converted for
+specifically for onscripter-en using this engine may result in
+unforseen consequences!
+
+This engine by default builds only the binary capable of playing back
+Japanese NScripter games. If you wish to build a binary including the
+1-byte character extension support, please pass the ONSTARGET=english
+variable to the build script or ONSTARGET=both if you want to have
+Japanese and English interpreters installed concurrently - note this
+will make build time slightly longer, though, and you may still
+experience issues when playing games converted for onscripter-en.
+
+This script may also install various tools for extracting and
+converting NScripter code and resources. If you wish for them to be
+built, please pass the ONSTOOLS=yes variable to the build script.
+
+* REGARDING MP3 MUSIC MISSING *
+This is an issue with Slackware not compiling SDL_mixer with support
+for MP3 playback. You can fix that by downloading Slackbuild source
+for l/sdl from one of the mirrors and modifying its SDL_mixer
+configure section to include either --enable-music-mp3-mad-gpl or
+--enable-music-mp3 - the former will use libmad already included in
+Slackware, the other will use smpeg dependency from SBo we need
+anyway for movie playback support.
