+libao Binding for the Ada Programming Language
+==============================================
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This a thick binding, so the rough edges of C have all been filed off. In
+particular ao_option/Option_List objects are automatically deallocated when
+they go out of scope, and any remaining open ao_device/Device objects are
+automatically closed when libao is shut down.
+
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+GNAT (build)
+gprbuild (build)
+libao (run)
+
+
+Build Instructions
+------------------
+
+Ensure that all dependencies are installed, including any developer or header
+packages for libao. Then the following commands will build and install the
+binding:
+
+    gprbuild aao.gpr
+    gprinstall -p -m aao.gpr
+
+The other gpr file, example.gpr, can be used to build the short example
+programs provided.
