+<sub>Based on code modifications by Sean 'Zoner' Cavanaugh and Vluzacn</sub>  
+<sup>Based on Valve's version, modified with permission.</sup>
+
+Map compile tools for the Half-Life engine, based on Vluzacn's ZHLT v34. New features include additional tool textures, ability to extend map size limits, and portal file optimisation for the J.A.C.K. map editor.
+
+## How to install
+
+1. Open the configuration dialog of your map editor or batch compiler.
+2. Set CSG, BSP, VIS, RAD tool pathes to 'sdHLCSG.exe', 'sdHLBSP.exe', 'sdHLVIS.exe', 'sdHLRAD.exe' in 'tools' folder.
+3. Add 'sdhlt.wad' into your wad list.
+4. Add 'sdhlt.fgd' into your fgd list.
+
+If you are running 64-bit Windows, use 'sdHLCSG_x64.exe', 'sdHLBSP_x64.exe', 'sdHLVIS_x64.exe' and 'sdHLRAD_x64.exe'.  
+The main benefit of the 64-bit version is no memory allocation failures, because the 64-bit tools have access to more than 2GB of system memory.
