+If no config_file is specified on the command line, Privoxy will look for
+a file named 'config' in the current directory (except Win32 which will look
+for 'config.txt'). If no config_file is found, Privoxy will fail to start.

CONFIGURATION
--------------
-See: 'config', '*.action', and 'default.filter'. These are all well
-commented. Most of the magic is in '*.action', and there are several
-of these included with varying degrees of aggressiveness. On Unix-like
-systems, these files are installed in /etc/privoxy. On Windows, then wherever
-the executable itself is installed. There are many significant changes and
-advances since Junkbuster v2.0.x. The user-manual has a run down of
-configuration options, and examples: http://www.privoxy.org/user-manual/.

Be sure to set your browser(s) for HTTP/HTTPS Proxy at <IP>:<Port>, or
whatever you specify in the config file under 'listen-address'.
The default.action file can be configured via the web interface accessed
via http://p.p/, as well other options.
+All configuration files are subject to unannounced changes during the
+development process.

DOCUMENTATION
--------------
There is a growing amount of documentation in the 'doc' subdirectory,
-but it is not finished at this point. In particular, see the
-user-manual there, and developers should look at developer-manual.
+but it is not completed at this point. In particular, see the
+user-manual there, the faq, and developers should look at developer-manual.
The most up to date source of information on the current development version,
may still be either comments in the source code, or the included configuration
files, which are all well commented. These are 'config', '*.action', and
'default.filter' in the toplevel source directory.
-Some legacy Junkbuster documentation may also be included only to give an idea
-of what Privoxy can do under doc/obsolete/*. Much has changed since these docs
-were written, so beware.

Included documentation may vary according to platform and packager.
