+Setting CLASSPATH
+=================
+
+SaxonB is a java application and as such the main jar file
+MUST be included in the $CLASSPATH environment variable.
+
+For most uses you should only add the path to the saxon9.jar file.
+However, if you need to use DOM, JDOM or other xml tree
+models, you may need to add some or all of the other jar file
+paths. The SaxonB jar files are found in /usr/lib/saxonb/, the
+online documentation below has additional information on this.
+
+To add the path from the command line for a single session:
+export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/lib/saxonb/saxon9.jar
+This package installs scripts to /etc/profile.d/saxonb.{sh,csh}
+which should handle this correctly for you.
+
+
+Using XSLT Transforms
+=====================
+
+Because SaxonB is a java application it must be invoked using
+java syntax. See the usage documentation at...
+
+http://saxonica.com/documentation/using-xsl/intro.html
+
+The command line syntax is:
+
+java net.sf.saxon.Transform [options] -s:source -xsl:stylesheet -o:output [params]
+
+To make this easier, we have included a script /usr/bin/saxonbt which will
+perform the java invocation for you using the same syntax for options
+and filenames. For example...
+
+saxonbt [options] -s:source -xsl:stylesheet -o:output [params]
+
+Using XQuery
+=====================
+
+See the usage documentation at...
+
+http://saxonica.com/documentation/using-xquery/intro.html
+
+The command line syntax is:
+
+java net.sf.saxon.Query [options] -q:queryfile | -qs:querystring [params]
+
+To make this easier, we have included a script /usr/bin/saxonbq which will
+perform the java invocation for you using the same syntax for options
+and filenames. For example...
+
+saxonbq [options] -q:queryfile | -qs:querystring [params]
+
