This is version 0.13 of the parallel port driver for the i2c-bus interface.
It is, in short, an adapter to a 2-wire serial bus for a series of speccial 
integrated circuits, including microcontrollers and consumer electronics
circuits. For a detailed survey, have a look into the doc directory.

The driver is currently configured to use major 31, you may change this by
editing the file i2c.h. It runs on parallel port 0x278, this may be changed
in i2c.c. It was tested with Linux v1.1.79 - v1.2.2 and modutils v0.67, but 
should run with any kernel that supports modules.
You will also have to do a 
	mknod /dev/i2c0 c I2C_MAJOR 0 
with the major number corresponding to the one in your i2c.h file. 

Included with the driver are - as stated above - a TeX documentation file,
which was initially written as a part of my computer sciences studies, but
which will be maintained and expanded in the future (when I will have some
spare time, somwhen in the far future ... ).
Also, some sample applications, which use the Tcl/Tk package written by John
Ousterhout (versions 7.3 / 3.6 ). 

The whole package may be freely distrubuted and/or modified under the terms
of the GNU General Public License, Version 2, which is included in the file
COPYING. You may also feel free to send me any amount of comments,
modifications, improvements and beer (or single malt whisky if you like ;-).

Also, you should take care when hacking hardware, especially when opening
TV sets, and the like. You should really know what you are doing, as I
cannot guarantee the correctness of the presented schematics (although they
work fine in my environment). 

The videotext decoder in  the directory vtex currently can only be started in 
this directory. If you want to install in in another directory, you will
have to change the value for vtex(prefix) in the procedure initVars in the
file vt.tcl .  Also, the path to ish in the first line of vt will have to be
changed.

The same applies to the file mem/mem, which is a simple interface to a 256 byte 
EEPROM chip.
