+This program inverts wildcards for use in shell commands. For example, if you
+want a list of all files in the current directory that do *not* end in `.o`,
+run:
+
+    ls $(not '*.o')
+
+Note two things: You'll need to wrap `not` in the `$(...)` syntax to get
+command substitution; and, you should wrap your glob(s) in single quotes to
+prevent them from being expanded by the shell. You can specify more than one
+glob; not will ignore files matching any of the provided globs.
+
+To build, just run:
+
+    make
+
+To install, with privileges run:
+
+    make install
