+Synergy+ (synergy-plus) lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard
+between multiple computers with different operating systems, without
+special hardware. All you need is a LAN connection. It's intended
+for users with multiple computers, where each system uses its own
+display. It's a little like having a 2nd or a 3rd desktop.
+
+This build can co-exist with an existing synergy installation if
+SYNERGYOLD is set to yes. This is set to no by default as synergy has
+not been updated in some two and a half years.
+
+If SYNERGYOLD is set to yes, the two binaries synergyc (client)
+and synergys (server) are suffixed with -plus to synergyc-plus and
+synergys-plus.
+
+An example configuration file (synergy.conf) can be found in
+/usr/doc/synergy-plus-1.3.4/.
