+RXTX is a Java library providing serial and parallel port communication.
+
+Note: this is an obsolete version of RXTX intended for use with JMRI
+(available at SlackBuilds.org). It is not necessarily suitable for use
+with other applications.
+
+To build RXTX requires the jdk package (available in Slackware's extra/
+directory) and javacomm (available at SlackBuilds.org). To run RXTX
+requires javacomm but not jdk.
