+# DMBCS Imbedded HTTP Server Library for C++
+
+At DMBCS we like to do things in certain ways: all our code takes the form
+of C++17 (or, lately, C++20) libraries built with GNU autotools, providing
+user interaction through HTTP/HTML5/CSS3/EcmaScript web interfaces.  It is
+thus a common requirement that our code links against a library of classes
+which implement the HTML paradigm and provide the TCP/IP plumbing to allow
+applications to easily take the form of self-contained web servers.  At
+DMBCS we use NGINX at top-level to coordinate the set of such
+micro-servers which make up a complete web site.
+
+The library has been under constant development for over twenty years
+(yes, really), and in heavy production use.  The code-base hasnʼt quite
+been brought up to our expectations of full production-quality code yet
+(it has always been a project on the side of other things), and so we
+still regard it as beta-quality software.  We expect this situation to
+change in the near future.
+
+
+## Download
+
+The *dmbcs-micro-server* source code is managed with *GIT* (configured
+with *autotools*, built with *make* and a good C++17 compiler). Type
+
+   git clone http://rdmp.org/dmbcs/micro-server.git dmbcs-micro-server
+
+at the command line to obtain a copy.
+
