+PC/SC-lite (Personal Computer/Smart Card interface)
+
+This is middleware to access a smart card using SCard API (PC/SC) Its purpose
+is to provide a Windows(R) SCard interface in a very small form factor for
+communicating to smart cards and readers. It is released under BSD license.
+
+It is compiled with --enable-usbdropdir=/usr/lib/pcsc/drivers
+This will be the destination directory for usb readers' drivers (ccid, cardman,
+others).
+
+NOTE: drivers are not included and must be compiled and installed separately.
+See /usr/doc/pcsc-lite-1.4.99/DRIVERS for more information on getting and
+installing specifc drivers.
+
+For serial and pcmcia readers only, it is necessary to edit files in
+/etc/reader.conf.d/ and run "/usr/sbin/update-reader.conf".
+
+Compiling with "DEBUGATR=1 ./pcsc-lite.SlackBuild" enables ATR parsing debug
+output messages.
+
+To start PC/SC-lite daemon, run "/etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start".
+For pcmcia readers, this daemon should be started after rc.pcmcia - this is
+most easily accomplished by adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.pcscd start
