| \ezstream.1.html      | The ezstream manual in HTML format. It is    |
|                       | automatically generated and looks very bad,  |
|                       | but should be readable enough to be useful.  |
+-----------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| \ezstream.exe         | The ezstream executable file.                |
+-----------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| \ezstream-X.Y.Z.zip   | The ezstream source distribution.            |
+-----------------------+----------------------------------------------+
| \conf\*.xml           | Ezstream example configuration files.        |

2. Installation

As of version 0.3.0, ezstream no longer comes with an installer. If you have a previous version of ezstream installed, you might want to simply uninstall it.

The ezstream.exe file will work from any location. To install it, simply copy it to a location of your choosing. Add this place to your PATH environment variable, if ezstream.exe is supposed to be executable from anywhere on the system.

3. Source code

Ezstream uses libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org/, BSD-like license), libogg and libvorbis (http://www.vorbis.com/, BSD-like license) and libshout (http://www.icecast.org/, LGPL licensed). These libraries are statically linked into the ezstream.exe file.

Ezstream itself is licensed under the GPL (see COPYING in the included source archive for details.)
