		   The arch Revision Control System

arch is a revision control system: a program that let's programmers
archive a history of changes made to the software they maintain and
that, more importantly, helps programmers to coordinate, synchronize,
and combine multiple lines of development for a single project.

For more details, see the documentation (in "./doc"), the longer
README file (in "src/arch/=README"), and the labnotes (in
"src/Labnotes/ArchRevCtl.d").   

People interested in seeing arch develop further are especially urged
to consider the appendix to the manual:

	./docs/html/little-help.html

Arch is currently distributed from:

	http://regexps.srparish.net/src/arch

Bugs, questions, port reports, patches, offers to help, etc. should be
sent to the author:

	arch-users@lists.fifthvision.net

There is an arch web site, maintained by arch volunteers and users at:

	www.fifthvision.net/Arch

Installation instructions are found in the file "=INSTALL".

In order to use arch, you must have the following programs (though
they do not have to be on your primary PATH):



   Available from "http://www.gnu.org":

	GNU make  (to build arch)

	GNU tar
	GNU diff and patch

   Standard POSIX utilities:

	awk cat chmod date echo find fold grep head ls mkdir printf
	pwd rm sed sh tee test touch tsort wc xargs

   	Your version of `find' must be able to expand `{}' even in the
	context of a larger string.  For example:

		find . -exec echo ">>>{}<<<" ";"

	Your system must have the null device, "/dev/null".



Have fun,
