+The KDE addressbook
+===================
+
+The kab API is a binary interface for application developers that want to
+use the users addressbook in their own applications. To use it, you have
+to link the binary of your program against "libkab.so", a DLL that exports
+kab's functions, and to include the header file "kabapi.h" in the KDE
+include directory into your sources.
+
+The documentation of the kab API is contained in the header file
+(kabapi.h), you can extract it by parsing the file with kdoc. The kab
+binary source directory in the kdeutils package contains a sample program
+that tries to explain some basic functions of the API. It is important
+that you report any bugs you find in the API or in the rest of kab to
+
+	mirko@kde.org
+
+Since it is used in different other applications, and I cannot imagine all
+the possible situations that might occur. Read the file README for some
+details about the compiler environment you need to get this sources
+compiled.  Most of the possible problems should by now already be solved
+automatically by the automake script, but you need, for example, a C++
+compiler that handles templates properly.
