 Thank you SourceForge!</p>
 
+<p>There are three possible downloads:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>"bin-all" contains all of the FOray class files in one jar file.
+  This is the recommended download for most users.</li>
+  <li>"bin-modules" contains all of the FOray class files, but they are placed
+  in one jar file per module.
+  This distribution is intended for those who wish to use only certain modules
+  from FOray and do not want to use the more bulky "bin-all" jar file.
+  Note also that FOray can be <a href="./build.html#subset">built as a
+  subset</a></li>
+  <li>"src" contains the entire contents of the trunk of the FOray source
+  code repository.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>After downloading the FOray "bin-all" distribution, you can check the
+basic usability of the download very easily:</p>
+<ol>
+  <li>Unzip the distribution.</li>
+  <li>Make sure your "JAVE_HOME" environment variable is set to a Java 1.4 or
+  higher runtime.</li>
+  <li>Change directory to the "scripts" directory in the distribution and run
+  either "foray-test.bat" (for Windows) or "foray-test.sh" (For Unix and Linux).
+  If all goes well, you should see output on the screen showing the startup and
+  successful completion of a FOray run, and a file "minimal.pdf" should be
+  created in the current directory.</li>
+</ol>
