+This is userv-utils.  It is a collection of utilities and scripts that
+serve both as examples for how to use userv, and in some cases,
+hopefully as useful programs.
+
+Please see each individual directory for details, installation
+instructions, documentation, invididual copyright statements, and
+anything else that might be available.
+
+If you do not know what userv is, see its WWW page at
+http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/userv/.  For now at least, the
+userv mailing lists should be used to discuss these and other
+userv-using programs.
+
+Please send bug reports and suggestions to
+userv-maint@chiark.greenend.org.uk, or to the userv-discuss mailing
+list if you are subscribed to it.
+
+
+Here is a quick summary of the currently available utilities
+

+Key to the Status:
+ First letter is general status:
+   Y	Released; hopefully of production quality.
+   B	Beta.  Not released, but hopefully useful with care.
+   A	Alpha.  Probably buggy.  Not widely tested or debugged.
+   X	Example/experimental - for documentation purposes only,
+        not recommended for use.
+   S	Too small to be relevant
+ Second letter is completeness:
+   Y	Complete.
+   P	Partially complete, some glue or modification needed.
+   X	Incomplete.  Much extra stuff is required.
+ Third letter is documentation:
+   Y	Supplied documentation is believed adequate.
+   P    Partial documentation or hints.  Good sysadmins should cope.
+   X    No documentation.  Good luck !
