* Convert README to README.md.Gerald Combs2017-08-151-236/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the contents of the top-level README to Markdown and give it a .md extension. Most of our documentation is plain text or AsciiDoc, but the top-level README file in a Git repository is special in that many online browsers will show the README contents along with the directory listing and those browsers tend to favor Markdown. This is true of GitHub (which we're currently mirroring to), Gerrit via its Gitiles plugin (which we're not yet using but likely will), and other places. Add "foreign" to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. There is probably a joke to be made here about the FSF and border walls.

* A bunch of "{Mac} OS X" -> "macOS" changes.Guy Harris2017-04-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Avoid anachronisms, however; there was no "macOS 10.0" or even "OS X 10.0", for example. It was "Mac OS X" until 10.8 (although 10.7 was sometimes called "OS X" and sometimes called "Mac OS X"), and it was "OS X" from 10.8 to 10.11.

* Update the README.Gerald Combs2016-08-181-51/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The formatting was mostly AsciiDoc-compliant. Take it the rest of the way. Update the list of supported operating sytems, along with other info. Use HTTPS URLs. Remove README.tru64 while we're here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Wireshark" rather than "WireShark" nonwithstanding. Say we run on NT 4.0 rather than "NT" - I don't know whether we run on NT 3.x (and 2000/2003/XP are really NT 5.x and Vista/2008 are really NT 6.x - that's why Microsoft are talking about "Windows 7" as the next big release). In the capture-privileges paragraph, note that it's dumpcap that needs to run as root, and suggest not only that Wireshark shouldn't be set-UID root, but that it shouldn't even be run as root, and that the same applies to TShark. Update "How to Report a Bug" to reflect that we're telling people to report bugs on Bugzilla, and that "wireshark -v"/"tshark -v" give almost all the version information we want. svn path=/trunk/; revision=25605
