+C++ library for symbolic mathematical calculations.  It is designed to allow
 the creation of integrated systems that embed symbolic manipulations together
 with more established areas of computer science (like computation-intense
 numeric applications, graphical interfaces, etc.) under one roof.

+How to report bugs
+==================
+
+If you have identified a bug in GiNaC you are welcome to send a detailed
+bug report to <ginac-list@ginac.de>.  Please think about your bug!  This
+means that you should include
+
+* Information about your system
+
+   - Which operating system and version (uname -a)
+   - Which C compiler and version (gcc --version)
+   - For Linux, which version of the C library
+
+  And anything else you think is relevant.
+
+* Information about your version of GiNaC
+
+   - Version and release number
+   - Which options GiNaC was configured with
+
+* How to reproduce the bug
+
+   - If it is a systematical bug in the library, a short test program
+     together with the output you get and the output you expect will
+     help us to reproduce it quickly.
+
+Patches are most welcome.  If possible please make them with diff -c and
+include ChangeLog entries.
