 INSTALL.sqlite
 ----------------
 
+SQLite is a C library that implements an embeddable SQL database engine.
+Programs that link with the SQLite library can have SQL database access without
+running a separate RDBMS process. The distribution comes with a standalone
+command-line access program (sqlite) that can be used to administer an SQLite
+database and which serves as an example of how to use the SQLite library.
+
+blootbot will create a file called <DBname>.sqlite and populate the tables for
+you if they do not already exist.
+
 - Install SQLite libraries and DBI Perl modules.

+Perl distribution.
