+A Simple Webserver Written in C
+===============================
+
+This is a simple webserver written in the C programming language.
+
+It uses a pool of 10 connections to serve multiple requests concurrently and it keeps track of how much data it has output, printing it to the standard output stream.
+
+
+Compiling and Using the System
+==============================
+
+On a Linux system system simply use the makefile to compile the server.
+
+On a Mac use this command to compile the server:
+
+gcc cs241server.c –o cs241server
+
+
+To run the server type ./server into a terminal that is in the directory where the executable file is located.
+
+By default the server runs on port 2001, so to try it out navigate to
+
+localhost:2001 in a webbrowser
