====================================
PLOP and PLOP DS binary distribution
====================================

This is a binary package containing PLOP and PLOP DS in a single binary.
It requires a commercial license to use it. However, the library is
fully functional for evaluation purposes; see documentation for size
restrictions of the free evaluation version.


C and C++ language bindings
===========================

-------
Windows
-------
On 32-bit Windows, the DLL libplop.dll is supplied along with the
corresponding import library libplop.lib. In order to build
and run the supplied C/C++ samples copy these files to the
bind/c or bind/cpp directories.

----
Unix
----
On Unix systems (including Mac OS X) a static library is supplied.
The bind/c and bind/cpp directories contain sample applications and
Makefiles which you can use to test your installation.

Note that applications which use PLOP or PLOP DS with the C or C++
language bindings require the "dl" system library (e.g. libdl.so)
on systems with PKCS#11 support.


The documentation contains more information about C, C++ and the other
supported language bindings.
