+Type
+
+	make
+
+in the dss source directory to build the dss executable. You
+likely need a recent version of gnu gengetopt,
+ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gengetopt/, to compile dss.
+
+dss is known to compile on Linux, MacOS, Solaris, FreeBSD and
+NetBSD. However, it is run-tested on Linux only.
+
+Also make sure that rsync, http://rsync.samba.org/, is installed on
+your system. Version 2.6.1 or newer is required.
+
+In order to create snapshots of the existing directory
+
+	/tmp/foo
+
+in the directory
+
+	/tmp/bar,
+
+execute the commands
+
+	mkdir /tmp/bar
+	./dss --run --source-dir /tmp/foo --dest-dir /tmp/bar
+
+To print a list of all snapshots created so far, use
+
+	./dss --list --source-dir /tmp/foo --dest-dir /tmp/bar
+
+You might want to create the config file
+
+	~/.dssrc
+
+that contains the values for the source and the destination
+directories. In the above example, this file would contain the
+following lines:
+
+	source-dir "/tmp/foo"
+	dest-dir "/tmp/bar"
+
+Using a configuration file allows you to simply type
+
+	./dss --run
+
+to start snapshot creation and
+
+	./dss --list
+
+to list all avalable snapshots.
+
+Try
+
+	./dss -h
+
+for an overview of all supported command line options or
+
+	./dss --detailed-help
+
+for the full help text.
