+README: For NPT Library.
+------------------------
+
+To use this Native Platform Toolkit library, you need to add 
+-Isrc/share/npt and -I/src/${platform}/npt (platform is solaris or windows)
+to your compilation lines.
+
+To initialize/use the library:
+
+    #include "npt.h"
+    
+    NptEnv *npt;
+    
+    NPT_INITIALIZE(&npt, NPT_VERSION, NULL);
+    if (npt == NULL) {
+        FATAL_ERROR_MESSAGE(("Unable to gain access to Npt library"));
+    }
+
+    /* To use the npt utf functions, they require initialization */
+    npt->utf = (npt->utfInitialize)(NULL);
+    if (npt->utf == NULL) {
+        FATAL_ERROR_MESSAGE(("Unable to gain access to Npt utf functions"));
+    }
+
+    ...
+
+
+    /* After all uses is done, it can be terminated, however, if the
+     *   process will be exiting anyway it isn't necessary, and if
+     *   you have other threads running that might use these handles
+     *   you will need to wait here until all those threads have terminated.
+     *   So in general, termination can be a pain and slow your process
+     *   termination down.
+     */
+    (npt->utfTerminate)(npt->utf,NULL);
+    NPT_TERMINATE(&npt, NULL);
