ZOOM-C++
--------

The ZOOM library in this distribution implements the ZOOM C++ binding
described on the ZOOM web-site at 
	http://zoom.z3950.org/bind/cplusplus/index.html
It provides a simple but powerful API for constructing Z39.50 client
applications.  See the documentation in doc/zoom.xml for much more
information.
