+// FILENAME           : README
+// AUTHOR             : Priya Narasimhan
+// LAST MODIFIED      : June 18, 1998
+// DESCRIPTION        : Description of the Ior Parser
+
+The "parseIor" utility parses IORs generated by most ORBs. It has been
+tested with Orbix, VisiBroker and TAO so far.
+
+USAGE: parseIor <IOR filename>
+
+There is a sample file in this directory called TaoSimple.IOR that is
+an IOR generated using the example $TAO_ROOT/tests/Simple.  You can
+run the "parseIor" utility against that to see what the output looks
+like.
+
