+
+This package shall help a better integration of KDE/Linux into a Windows environment
+by providing tools to work with Windows .lnk files
+
+This package contains 2 tools:
+
+- a KFile plugin, tdefile_lnk, which gives metadata information for a .lnk file (where does it point to)
+
+- a small tool, lnkforward, to start an associated application for which the path is in a .lnk file
+ (e.g. when you double-click a file in konqueror)
+
+The .lnk file is registered as MIME type application/x-win-lnk
+
+If you have a dual-boot machine, and you have your Windows partition(s) mounted,
+then you should adapt where konqi can find the corresponding C:, D: or other drives.
+For this you have to adapt the used commandline arguments for lnkforward, which you
+can do in konqis file-associations for the MIME type application/x-win-lnk
+
+The lnkforward tool shall get a commandline option like this:
+
+-map C=/mnt/winC -map D=/mnt/winD
+
+NOTE: both tools work with .lnk files which are either readable via the local filesystem
+(smbfs mounted filesystems) or also via URLs on the network, e.g. smb://something
+
+Have fun.
