+$Revision: 5 $
+
+This is a line-editing library.  It can be linked into almost any
+program to provide command-line editing and recall.
+
+It is call-compatible with the FSF readline library, but it is a
+fraction of the size (and offers fewer features).  It does not use
+standard I/O.  It is distributed under a "C News-like" copyright.
+
+Configuration is done in the Makefile.  Type "make testit" to get
+a small slow shell for testing.
+
+An earlier version was distributed with Byron's rc.  Principal
+changes over that version include:
+	Faster.
+	Is eight-bit clean (thanks to brendan@cs.widener.edu)
+	Written in K&R C, but ANSI compliant (gcc all warnings)
+	Propagates EOF properly; rc trip test now passes
+	Doesn't need or use or provide memmove.
+	More robust
+	Calling sequence changed to be compatible with readline.
+	Test program, new manpage, better configuration
+	More system-independant; includes Unix and OS-9 support.
+
+This contains some changes since the posting to comp.sources.misc:
+	Bugfix for completion on absolute pathnames.
+	Better handling of M-n versus showing raw 8bit chars.
+	Better signal handling.
+	Now supports termios/termio/sgttyb ioctl's.
+	Add M-m command to toggle how 8bit data is displayed.
+
+There is one known bug:
+	History-searching redraws the line wrong if the text
+	retrieved is shorter then the prompt.
+
+Enjoy,
