+WFM - Web File Manager
+======================
+WFM is a web file management application. It allows to upload, download,
+rename, delete files and organize directory / folder structure using a
+standard web browser with CGI.
+
+This program is written using portable C code and compiles natively
+for many flavors of Unix. The output is a pure W3C certified HTML 4.01
+and doesn't require JavaScript support in the browser. WFM will work in
+most HTTP 1.1 web servers with CGI support. Due to compact size and
+lightning fast execution time it's ideal for small and embedded systems.
+
+
+History
+=======
+WFM has been conceived around 1994 as a perl cgi script for CERN httpd
+server to allow uploading data files by field support engineers. Later
+rewritten in C language, when CGIC library and Apache httpd were released
+around 1996. Up to 2015 WFM has been a closed source commercial application,
+supported by a few large enterprise and smaller corporation users. WFM is
+now released as open source.
+
+
+Installation
+============
+WFM binary is self contained including all icons/images. You only need
+to copy the compiled wfm binary (with any name) to your cgi execution
+directory. Include a config file of the same name as the binary file plus
+.cfg extension. Example:
+
+/u/foo/web/cgi-bin
+ wfm
+ wfm.cfg
+
+Edit the cfg file according to your needs.
+
+Point your browser to http://x.x.x.x/cgi-bin/wfm and you are done.
