+The file COPYING is the GNU General Public License.
+
+The DOC directory contains both doc and man pages files for the UUCPbb
+package.  These files are formatted, ready-to-print on standard 8 1/2 x 11
+inch paper, 66 lines per page.  There are no printer control codes embedded
+in any of the files.
+
+Please READ the documentation.  It will, I hope, make installing the program
+easy.  If you find mistakes or unclear areas in the docs, please let me know.
+I don't like documentation that is unclear.  While I am not a writer by
+profession, I would like to make the files as useful as possible.  If they
+are unclear, they are not very useful.
+
+The SAMPLE directory contains various files which go in the /DD/SYS/UUCP when
+you are instructed to copy them there.  You should edit these files to
+conform to YOUR system.  The file UUCPBB.DOC will explain what to change.
+Each file contains an explanation of the file's contents.  It is not necessary
+to delete this information after you finish installing UUCP.
+
+
+The MISC directory contains the following archives:
+
+SCF14.AR is Boisy Pitre's patch for OS-9/6809 Level 2 to allow SCF devices
+to be made non-shareable.  Instructions for applying the patch are contained
+in the archive.
+
+MCRON12.LZH is Boisy Pitre's multi-user version of CRON for OS-9/6809.
+Instructions are contained in the archive
+
+CONVERTPALM.LZH is Jeff Shepler's utility for use with his mailer, Palm.  If
+you are running Palm with Rick's original UUCP on the CoCo, use this utility
+to convert Palm's mail to the new form used by UUCPbb.
+
+UUTOOLS.LZH is a version of uuencode and uudecode which allows large files to
+split into smaller files.  Many UUCP will reject mail files larger than about
+100K.  UUE (uuencode) allows you easier send a large file in smaller pieces.
+UUD (uudecode) allows you to put these pieces back together and decode than
+without a lot of hassles.  Only the OS-9/6809 executables are in this file.
+Put these in your execution directory with names uue and uud.
+
+UUTOOLS_SRC.LZH is the source for UUE and UUD.  It includes makefiles for
+the OS-9/6809 and OSK versions.  Put the executables in your execution
+directory with the names uue and uud.
+
+CM.LZH is a mail monitor for use with UUCPbb under OSK.  It runs in the
+background and checks for new mail at regular intervals.  This utility
+was contributed by Boisy.  Questions or suggestions about it should be
+sent to him.
+
+DESKTOP.LZH was also contributed by Boisy.  The archive contains some AIF/icon
+files for a particular GUI on the MM/1 called Desktop.
