| 4 | This package is based on ares 1.1.1 (written by Greg Hudson). Daniel Stenberg |
| 5 | decided to fork and release a separate project since the original ares author |
| 6 | didn't want the improvements that were vital for our use of it. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | This package is dubbed 'c-ares' since Daniel wanted this for use within the |
| 9 | curl project (hence the letter C) and it makes a nice pun. c-ares is not API |
| 10 | compatible with ares: a new name makes that more obvious to the public. |

| 12 | The original libares was distributed at |
| 13 | ftp://athena-dist.mit.edu:pub/ATHENA/ares (which seems to not be alive |
| 14 | anymore). A local copy of the original ares package is kept here: |
