+This library is fully staticly linked. There should be no external dependencies.
+
+When building, use build.sh, not make. 
+
+Use it as follows: build.sh -m "useful comment on changes being made"
+
+When making TUI menus, try to use the first leter of the command and the key to press to execute that command. For example, if the command is "Open file" try to use a keypress of "o" upper or lower case to signal to open the file. Use this instead of number keyed menus when possible. In the command, the letter should be underlined that signifies the command.
