+l33t Server Project 3
+
+Note: May have to run dos2unix on configure
+
+Building the necessary stuff:
+-----------------------------
+
+% cd Project\ 3/
+% mkdir bin
+% mkdir bin/rpc_server/
+
+# Building the JPEG Library
+% cd jpeg_resizer/jpeg-6b
+% ./configure
+% make
+
+# Building the RPC Server
+% cd ../rpc_server
+% make -f Makefile
+% make -f Makefile.rpc
+
+#Building the Proxy
+% cd ../../proxy_server/
+% make
+
+
+Running the stuff:
+------------------
+
+# The RPC Server can be run on whatever system you want:
+% cd Project\ 3/jpeg_resizer/rpc_server
+% ./jpeg_server
+
+# Running the proxy
+## Without the RPC Server, straight up hosting:
+% cd Project\ 3/proxy_server
+% ../bin/proxy/l33t_proxy 0
+
+## With the RPC Server, assuming an RPC on localhost
+% cd Project\ 3/proxy_server
+% ../bin/proxy/l33t_proxy 1 127.0.0.1
+
+## Assuming many RPC Servers
+% cd Project\ 3/proxy_server
+% ../bin/proxy/l33t_proxy 1 127.0.0.1 128.61.42.147 10.10.10.1 192.168.0.2
+
+Notes:
+------
+
+- If you're browsing the web with a browser, ensure that the browser has persistant connections disabled (this is in the proxy menu in Konqueror).
+
+- Requests made to localhost are assumed to be meant for l33t_server and will access on port 1337.  Error correction/robustness was not considered an issue in this case, so the effects of not having l33t_server running may or may not be bad.
