+ What's this?
  
  This is a wrapper of rbdcl and more useful than rbdcl. One of differences 
of these libraries is setting parameters. In AdvancedDCL, for example, you 
can set parameters by keyword arguments of drawing methods. 

+ Installation

  To install this library, the following libraries must have been installed. 
    * Ruby version 1.6 (or later)
    * The C version of dcl-5.2 (or a later version)
    * NArray version 0.5.3 (or later)
    * ruby/DCL beta vresion(1.beta or later)   

  Before installation, narray.h and narray_config.h, header file 
  with NArray, must be copied in library directry of Ruby (if prefix of Ruby 
  is /usr/local, that is /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/$(archname)/ ).

  If you are using a UNIX operating system, you only need to execute
  the following command at the current directly ("%" is a "prompt". Do
  not type it): 

     % ruby install.rb [--prefix prefixname]

  You necessarily don't use an option, prefix. A default prefixname is 
a prefix of Ruby (probably /usr/local). 
  If you execute this command, you can see 

     press key 1 or 2 (1:install, 2:site-install)

  You can select install or site-install. Please press key 1 or 2 and press 
RETURN, and installation of AdvancedDCL will be finished.
