+VLP
+===
+
+VLP is an abbreviation of Virtual Loglan Processor.
+
+What is Loglan?
+---------------
+
+Loglan (Loglan-82) is a programming Language designed and realized in Institute
+of Computer Science in University of Warsaw. It is universal language, whose
+fundamental characteristic is rich modular structure. Main concepts of language
+are classes and modules prefixing. These were introduced in Simula-67, and
+had a signifant effect on programming metodology and understanding of modern
+language modules concept. This influence is visible in many programming
+languages such as: Modula, Smalltalk or (to a certain degree) Ada. Module
+prefixing in Loglan is more general mechanism than it was in Simula-67. It
+allows reaching many different goals, whose practital importance is enormous

+Whom created VLP?
+-----------------
+
+Original author of VLP was: dr Oskar Świda.

+What is a difference between official project and this one?
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a fork Qt3 based VLP. Last entry of original code is dated: 15 Jan 1998.
+Qt3 was released on: 16 October 2001, so precise date is not known by me.
+
+Fork contains VLP, Loglan compilator and interpreter. It is carried
+independently by me (Rafał Długołęcki).
+
+Main targets of this fork are:
+1.  Document everything
+2.  Rewrite compilator to use grammar file, which will be parsed by e.g. Bison
+3.  Separate layout code from the logic
