Topic: Decipher readme please?

OK, so since there is no way to migrate my forum from PunBB, Ive been scouting about a bit, and come to the conclusion that the punbbcode extension may be just what Im after to add that bit of feature that is missing for the members!

So I downloaded it, and unzipped to read the readme file, oh my, I cannot half understand it.

Can someone help me out and decipher this readme from uber-geek to programming moron please? I have tried to arrange it to be easier to understand. But since I am not any type of programmer, I dont know whats relevant.
