+
+What is it ?
+------------
+
+unac is a C library that removes accents from characters, regardless
+of the character set (ISO-8859-15, ISO-CELTIC, KOI8-RU...)  as long as
+iconv(3) is able to convert it into UTF-16 (Unicode).  For instance
+the string été will become ete.  It provides a command line interface
+(unaccent) that removes accents from an input flow or a string given
+in argument. When using the library function or the command, the
+charset of the input must be specified. The input is converted to
+UTF-16 using iconv(3), accents are removed and the result is converted
+back to the original charset. The iconv -l command on GNU/Linux will
+show all charset supported.
+
+Where is the documentation ?
+----------------------------
+
+The manual page of the unaccent command : man unaccent.
+The manual page of the unac library : man unac.
+
+How to install it ?
+-------------------
+
+For OS that are not GNU/Linux we recommend to use the iconv library
+provided by Bruno Haible <haible@ilog.fr> at
+ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.8.tar.gz.
+
+./configure [--with-iconv=/my/local]
+
+make all
+
+make check
+
+make install
